Sony HX60V 20.4MP Camera w30x Optical Zoom and GPS

Mar 2, 2017

I am wanting a camera for doing music videos on a budget. Would this camera do good for me. All I'm wanting is 1080p and good overall quality and low light. Will this camera do it or is there a better camera for a similar price.

Austin3024Hi Austin,
There are many great reviews on this particular Sony model and the price is astoundingly cheap for what it retails in the marketplace. If you need to know more information on this product, please refer to this link:

Austin3024While I am not familiar with this exact camera, the low light capabilities are likely not that great due to the built in lens having its fastest aperture being 3.5 and 6.3 when zoomed in, combined with the fact it has a smaller sensor. But at this price range, I don't know of any cameras (bought new) that would excel in low light. You could definitely make this work if you kept the focal length towards the 4.3 (not zoomed in at all) and bought an inexpensive LED panel to add light when you need it (these can be found for about $30). If you're willing to buy a used camera, I would look around for a canon EOS M with the 22mm prime lens. This would do quite well in low light, and it can be found for around $250-300 if you look around online. The only down side is the wide-ish angle lens with no zoom, so you might be limited on what you could shoot. But this camera would allow you to buy and change lenses as you grow with your production. Sorry for the long and late response, but hopefully this helps.
