I’ve looked at the Panasonics and they are appealing. Using the adapters for my canon lenses, I lose auto focus. My eyes are starting to go a little wonky though.
The frustrating thing with DSLR cameras in my case is grit on the sensor no matter how careful I am that never seems to be there in the LCD but plain as day in playback. Hence thinking about a camcorder. Everything is a trade. A DSLR 4K could come later as HD gets phased out.
Adobe after effects cloud is on the list of things. That is one I’ve never played with.
Most people shooting video will go in for manual lenses in order to maintain constant, silent focus control —a lot of the really old, shallow depth of focus ones are $50 or less on Ebay, and some even use some of the CCTV lenses for security cameras.
It sounds like because of your eyes this manual lens route might not be quite your ticket, however.
I believe for your gritty camera sensor they make and sell cheaply on Ebay a special wipe resembling a tiny T-bar squeegee with a special cleaning solution but cleaning it manually requires extreme care.
I haven’t done it personally but there are over 3 specialists on TFFM (The Frugal Film Maker) who can coach you through manually cleaning your sensor properly, or give you a referral to a pro outfit that can do it affordably.
