I have a question about what camera I should be looking at.
>background
I am traveling to another country soon. Filming a documentary. In the middle of it, I would like to film a film (indie style/budget) that loosely follows the path of our documentary. Whatever I don't get during the documentary I have a couple weeks to get afterwards. I want to be able to take great photography for the documentary including landscapes, low light/night shots, raining shots (just need a cover for equipment but figured I would point that out anyway), time lapses, and lots of automotive shots.
My ideal camera includes:
2K minimum capability at 60fps
1080 @ 120fps (or faster)
Great low light high ISO
On-board audio isn't necessary, but it would save me an adaptor purchase and extra weight/settings.
As light weight as possible due to hiking for documentary.
I've considered just going with a RED. I was checking out the Raven 4.5k and thought it did everything I needed it to do. I've never shot during the night with any RED, yet, and reviews suggest it is decent. + all the accessories is going to make it a bit pricey, but I'm going for quality and versatility here. + part of the production costs will cover my equipment purchase so it is like getting a 60% discount on the whole set up.
A cheaper option I've looked at was the D810. I've chosen this over the RED simply because the red doesn't do photos. It can still shoot 1080 at 60 fps and does great low light, landscapes, and time lapses. Not quite everything I wanted in a system but the camera is still a good one.
Suggestions? Opinions?
If you recommend me to get two different cameras, please recommend something.
