RX100IV vs. LX100 vs. a7sII vs. 5Dmk4

1 posts
  1. 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
