Im looking for a camera that shoots video like this:

[Ale Louise]

Hello!

Im new to the forum and I couldn't quite find what I was looking for.

Im a video editor and colorist and I'm fully aware that many of the videos posted on youtube might have been shot by professionals and also gone thru post production AND I also take into account the export settings.

Nevertheless...

I own a couple of DSLRs but I need something more compact for my WDW trip. I like the camera used on recently The DIS videos and a couple o more vlogs. I haven't been keeping up with the new cameras out on the market and that is why I ask for anyone's help. Ill leave a couple of links below so you can see what kind of camera I am looking for:

The Disney Toy Collector:

Watch the parade at night and fireworks! Its amazing

The DIS 2017 Boo to you parade:

Just amazing quality

Thank you in advance for your time!

Have a great week everyone!

if you want a camera that's smaller and more compact look at mirrorless and 'pancake' style lens - e.g. Canon, Sony, Fuji, etc.

I'm in the same boat. I am debating and on the fence of dumping my bulky DSLR and lenses to go mirrorless. On the other hand, my DSLR is used for taking my daughter's sports pictures. I have looked at mirrorless, looked at some of the travel zooms (Panasonic FZ1000, ZS100, etc), and others. I know one thing for certain, I am not taking my DSLR to Disney any more. Too much bulk. If I want/need those excellent night pictures, I will pay someone for them.

Too much emphasis on the camera. Truthfully, those videos may have some from an iphone or a GoPro.
You can get great quality video out of many devices.
The first video looks about iphone quality. The second video excels largely because it is well stabilized -- taken on a tripod.

Mirrorless cameras and some dSLRs can be great for video if you want to be able to do videos with interchangeable lenses (like telephoto videos), and also if you want narrow depth of field. Sony and Panasonic make some of the best multi-purpose mirrorless cameras that excel at video. They also have features that let you determine your frame rate --- shoot at 24 frames per second for a cinematic feel, shoot at 60 frames per second for a smoother feel, etc. They also have features that let you shoot in lots of formats like SLOG, XAVCS, etc --- I have no clue what this stuff means. But it's very important to people who are doing extensive video editing. Not talking about putting together clips for a home video. Talking about grading of tone curves, controlled color saturation, etc. The type of stuff that give major motion picture movies those special looks.

Getting good video -- getting it "clear" -- it 95% technique -- Making sure you actually focus the camera where you want it focused. And making sure it is stabilized -- a tripod or other means to keeping it steady.
In terms of focus -- yes, some cameras have better video focus systems than others. When using dSLRs and mirrorless cameras, many people resort to manual focus to keep it accurate. Small cameras like iphones are actually easier to keep in "focus" due to their large depth of field. (It makes focus a less critical issue). In terms of stabilization, most cameras now offer some sort of electronic stabilization to let you do some degree of handholding. So some cameras may be a little better or worse in that regard. In fact, the Google Pixel phone has some of the best video stabilization you will find in any device:

But no matter how good the stabilization system, good mechanical stabilization (tripods, etc) + good handholding technique will provide great benefit.

Be careful of seeing a great video (or great photograph), and jumping to "wow... what camera was that taken with?"

If you ate a great dish in a restaurant, would you ask the chef, "that was delicious... what type of frying pan did you use?"

the good thing about mirrorless is you can do both - shoot sports with a big telephoto or go small and pocket-size with "pancake" style lens. All with the same camera
