Hi everybody,
I have a video problem and could use a hand solving it. But first, sorry if this has been asked before (I couldnt find this question in here before I posted this).
I want to record 1080 (ideally higher) videos where it's me talking to the camera so the students can have some face time with me. I have a 1080p logitech webcam, and it's just awful for picking up good lighting. I look permanently (and dangerously) sunburnt. And when I add good lighting I look like a ghost. Plus all the pixels look "fuzzy" in the records. That's fine for floating head videos imo but not direct-to-camera videos.
I have a DSLR EOS t6s camera with a kit lens. Photos are amazing! Video.. not so much. A 1080p video requires manual focusing and I can rarely focus on myself in the preview screen accurately. Turns out looking at a 2.5"x1.5" screen from 5ft away is hard to see. I tried focusing on an object where I would stand and it looks crisp in the preview but the actual video is pretty blurry. I want it to look crisp.
I've learned I want an infinity focus lens but I'm skeptical to spend even more on this camera and possibly have it not work the way I want.. And this camera only goes up to 1080p. To top it off, I'm pretty camera-stupid.
I'd REALLY like a camera that has infinity focus so I dont have to mess with anything that can shoot in 1440 or 2k (or higher), but ideally isn't like $2000 (I saw someone mention a Panasonic 4K GH5 in another thread and that's a bit pricy for the average teacher I think..)
Audio is less important as I have a lav and a blue yeti already.. and that could be saved for another thread.
Are there any suggestions for a high quality camera that I can just turn on and start recording?
