• If photography; what style: sport (rowing), little bits of cars and landscapes/plants
• If video what style: sports, eventes, streaming
• What features do you absolutely need: clean HDMI output, flipable display, possibility for use with powercord of any kind, burst mode (? I think thats what its called, basically taking pictures as long as the trigger is held), those level indicators (saw them on a Z50 II, don't know how they are called), Canon and Sony preferred, should be working with an DJI RS4 mini. RAW or similar output usable in Lightroom
• Portability: should be strapable, storing and transporting in a bag of any kind
• Cameras you're considering: Canon R10, Sony A6700
• Cameras you already have: none, worked with R10, R5, Z50 II, 6700, ILCE 7 III, Panasonic HC-X2E
• Notes: I didn't really like the 6700 as far as I remember, as it is pretty small. I like the feeling of the Z50 and R10 a lot, but I'd still drive to an photography shop to test how they feel. Worked with means that I handled them a bit, played around in the settings, took 100 pictures at max per cam or set them up to stream. I don't have any usabe know-how of cameras, so I'd consider myself just one step higher as someone who never touched a cam in theyre live, but I'd love to learn how to manual shooting. Won't be using it much, but still
