Title: Best POCKET or slightly larger concert cam, $ not a problem, but .....
Post by: eltimbomofo on June 18, 2024, 06:35:35 PM
... I'm also looking for a minimum 20x zoom, 4K, decent low light performance.  I WAS running a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ300, but that is dead.  In addition, a manager for a band I like started denying my cam entrance because of the size (not that it's enormous), so looking for as best performance I get get out of a pocket or slightly bigger.  I've used Google and Grok and I can't seem to find anything that fulfills all my wishes.  Again, I'm ok spending the $ if it fits the bill.  Hoping to film a show at Summerfest this weekend.

Been looking for 20x zoom too. Seems impossible.

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-RX100 VA

Not the latest model (which is the RX100 VII) but better F value (24-70mm equivalent F1.8-2.8 lens).
Longer recording times can be unlocked with OpenMemories Twek (https://github.com/ma1co/OpenMemories-Tweak) - only worked for me as sudo user on my Linux box though (not with Windows).
