Do you recommend a suitable broadcast camera? Does 4K resolution mean much?

If you are a professional journalist, you can buy a broadcast-grade camera for ordinary work or amateur needs. Just buy an ordinary professional camera. Because broadcast cameras are expensive, there are many functions that ordinary people can't use, and some money is wasted on useless functions. Of course, if you are rich, it doesn't matter. If you really want a broadcast-level recommendation:

1. Sony PXW-X280

2. Sony PXW-FS5

3. Panasonic AJ-HPX3 100MC

4. Sony PMW-580L

If you only need to buy Sony PXW-Z 150.

Or simply buy Sony HXR-NX5R.

As for the significance of 4K resolution, at present, most of the fields are not used in combination, and the main popular one is HD. It may take three to five years for 4K to be put into practical use. If you really want to shoot 4K images, the fidelity rate of the camera must be above 50 fidelity/second, otherwise the picture will not be smooth, so it is better to shoot HD directly. Two years ago, cameras competed to produce 4K cameras. Now, the temperature has dropped, and they have all made high-definition cameras. For example, Sony HXR-NX5R is a newly released product, which is just an ordinary high-definition professional camera. Even if you buy a 4K camera, you only shoot in HD. Unless you have special needs, you seldom shoot 4K.
