Sony NX70U - Best bang for the buck!

Excellent for Event Videography

 

I've been a pro videographer for over 10 years and always look for video cameras that perform extremely well without having to pay 5-10K. For the money, this cam is extremely good. The claimed features and specs are real. The depth of color is...
