Hello,
just returned from Bonaire where i made a little video with my GoPro H4B. I'm totally hooked making videos and fotos underwater and would like to take it to another level. I would like to have more control over aperture/exposure/focus and would love to be able to take better pictures because I come from a SLR background.
What I would like to do: 4K video, Macro and wide.
I have read a lot about the Sony RX100IV and the Panasonic LX100 now. I would choose a Nauticam housing for both of them.
So far the cons for the Sony are:
-bad autofocus video
-low battery
-overheating problem?
-no stabilization at 4K video
Cons Panasonic:
-need to change Ports (or can I take the short port + Nauticam Macro and wetlense? Then I could change everything underwater or perhaps I am wrong?)
-no 120fps HD
-no XAVC S
Cons against both cameras:
Coming from a SLR background I have 6 canon prime lenses at home (fisheye, 14mm, 35mm, 50mm, 100mm macro, 27-74mm...). So maybe I should wait for the Canon 5D MKIV or go for the Sony a7sII? It's a total different story in pricing for a housing and the camera itself but maybe worth it with these kind of lenses in stock. I already have 2 video light (Moli 1200SF and Moli 1200R).
Looking forward to hear some opinions - sorry for my bad English.
Cheers
