    Hi folks I'm thinking of buying a second hand camera to shoot documentary style DVD's. I suppose I'm looking for a great all round camera or camcorder but especially one that can work in low light situations as a sizeable amount of what I will use it for will be at dusk or night time shoots with traffic.
    Also probably not the kindest environments for cameras with dust etc.

    What would ye lot recommend :confused:

    TIA

    Might be best looking at a DSLR, they have a great range these days, they have lens that would be particularly good in low light and over all they put a major effort into working well in low light. Camcorders tend to get horribly expensive once their doing something more niche than just being required to film in HD.

    Couldn't recommend anything in particular model though.

    The Sony A7s can practically see in the dark, though it might be a bit out of your price range.

    Here's a review that goes quite in depth about it:

    The Sony AX100 is amazing and a good all rounder. Top reviews too and shoots 4k.

    whats your budget?
    and if it's dusty environments your probably best off using a camera that doesn't have interchangeable lens.
