Great advice. I shoot with the Canon XF300 and love it. It is one tough Camcorder, it has NEVER failed me even under extremely cold, hot, dusty, bumpy trips. You are so right about DSLR's. I have traveled all over Africa and South America videoing wildlife with a group of fellow travelers that use DSLR's. They are always lugging and changing lens while I am happily shooting away. Some of then even carry two camera bodies, one with a wide angle lens and the other with a telephoto lens. My Canon XF300 goes from 26mm - 529mm (I can kick it up to 790mm if needed), plus, when I put on my Sennheiser MKE600 shotgun mic and windscreen the audio blows them out of the water. And, as you stated, I can pack it all into one manageable backpack ( I will turn 70 in March so yes, weight is a factor). Love your videos. Always learning. Bob
As a beginner, I have been watching so much confusing videos, this is Gold. Just what I wanted to know 👍
Hi MOG
Things have changed a lot for me in 2023, the video you commented on was made 4 years a go so it is a link to my video on my new opinion of camcorders v M C C cheers Derek ruclips.net/video/34WkGPFdCtA/видео.html
Great video. I'm a camcorder type of guy too. My main cam is the Panasonic HC-X1 and as a backup I got the HC-VX870 4K. I also use a Gopro 7 Black and a DJI Phantom 4 Pro drone. That's all I need to create my videos. Have an amazing weekend, Andreas from Off Grid Sweden 🇸🇪
At the moment I'm filming an airplanes with VX-870 . I'm looking for an upgrade and was considered HC-X1 . Is it good camera ?
My friend Mike Bibb is a published wildlife photographer. I am amazed at his pictures of Whitetail deer and Elk.
Thanks so much - answered all my questions - without any brand selling
Thanks so much for making this video, it’s helped me a lot! I’ve been using a Canon G40 for a few years, will be upgrading to the XF400 soon. Would love to have the 705 but it’s $7000 price tag is out of my range at the moment. The key for me was when you spoke about depth of field. The camcorder keeps the environment in focus & it’s always ready to shoot. You sure picked a fast moving little guy to video... I’m thinking turtles, lol!!
This was lovely. Thank you so much for talking to camera like you were talking to a person. I really felt that and it was lovely to hear your long term goals and honest review of what's required. It can get really overwhelming when it comes to equipment and new tech. I'd never considered camcorders before as I had always thought they were outdated or for broadcast but I'm now going to seriously consider one. I'm not the strongest person so a lot of my choices are about weight and less faff whilst keeping the cost down. Love from Scotland.
Hi Demi
Glad i helped you in some way
Thanks for your Awesome comments on my video Much appreciated
Cheers Derek
Thank you so much. This help me a lot about making a decision between the camcorder and a DSLR. Great video
Thank you for sharing your experience and taking the time to prepare this material and sharing it with us!. Great tips..
I´m starting the transition from photography to film making and I really have this dream... to create nature documentaries, since I was a child (Thank you Jacques Cousteau!).... even if I´m the only one who sees them. Looking for information to start I found your chanel.
The most important thing that you give me in this video was not about gear or something material, was about inspiration to chase what you really want in life, and I appreciate that kind of motivation a lot.... it gives you an important boost that seems to always hit you at the right moment. Thank you so much for that!!. Regards from Chile my friend.
Hi E A N
Thank you so much for your comments much appreciated .
I made that video in 2019 a lot has happened since then I am now making my documentary at this moment

Ok, so, what I got from this video is: Camcorders are better for movement and filming action while DSLR are ok if you're not moving, like interviews or very slow action... (?) I'm not a photographer or a filmmaker, (srly, I don't even know how to use the camera in my phone) but I found this video incredibly informative and soothing XD
This video is extremely invaluable to me. I have the same dreams as you. I have a passion for wildlife, but I started off using my musical skills with the intention to score for wildlife documentary. Only about 2 years ago, did I start getting into wildlife photography. It evolved into a desire to want to film. My frustrations with the DSLR led me to this video and there you are discussing exactly everything I am experiencing. This field really is about trial and error and figuring out what you want to accomplish and what tools are the best at executing it. It costs money and time to really learn this. I will take your wisdom and begin looking to camcorders.
Hi RS
I am glad you found my video helpful . The canon XF 605 is the best option at the minuet for wildlife in my opinion
a little on the price side but it has every think you need for filming wildlife including IR and awesome picture quotes . Would love one my self but $ don't grow on trees apparently.
Thanks for your Awesome comments on my video Much appreciated
Cheers Derek
@@DerekHilton Haha yep, dollars definitely don't grow on trees. Would be nice if they did. Thank you for taking the time to read and respond to my comment and offering a suggestion. I hope everything is going well for you.
Cheers from Canada
you mite need to see these videos of mine ruclips.net/video/34WkGPFdCtA/видео.html ruclips.net/video/7N2pHVZW8mw/видео.html
Have you looked into bridge cameras, like the Nikon P1000 or P950? I really want a camcorder, but I don't know if I can pass up the zoom on these bad boys. Especially for little birds that are extremely difficult to approach. I don't know how you manage such great stuff with a 15x zoom only!
Hi Kale
It's about knowing and understanding your subject which will help you to get up close and personal
I talk a lot about this on my channel .
Nikon P1000 for wildlife not my first or second or third choice for professional footage . If you are serious and want professional footage go for camcorder . If mirrorless cameras are you thing go for the Sony a7III or the Canon R5 .
Thank you very much for your comments much appreciated .
Cheers Derek
We agree with you and love your honest content. Thank you!
Thank you so much.. Your video is very helpfull for me understand the directions i need think before i choose which cam corder i need to buy. So sweet of you and god bless you. Will love to see your documentory.
Thanks Derek, very helpful post ... just bought my first camcorder, a Canon AX15 with IR night capacity to start my wildlife filming adventure. Have been using various GoPros for owl research. Look forward to seeing your other videos.
Hi Jim
Good Luke with your new camcorder I am shore you will get some amassing footage and have some awesome adventures.
Thank you so much for your comments much appreciated
Cheers Derek
thank you!
Nice. Thanks for going through all the possible considerations.
Hi Al Gardner
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your Comment Much Appreciated
I Hope you and your family are doing well.
Cheers Derek
@@DerekHilton we're all doing well and likewise to you and yours.
Great explain, was also thinking how in he... Can I do great work with birds or something happens with DSLR , but need someone ho put it in my head, thanks
Excellent video! Would you have any recommendations for someone who’s an absolute beginner to filmmaking? I know my way around my G85 but it’s like you mentioned. It’s extremely difficult to focus on tiny birds when they’re flitting through the branches. I’ve tried taking a look at the camcorders that are currently available but it’s just all too confusing.
Hi Thralling
Yes it is confusing you have to go on what you won't from a camera the pries, pro work or blogging etcetera .
Find a camcorder that fits your needs then look at reviews to make sour it will work for you
the XF400 works for my at this time . It isn't perfect but it has the things i need for now Good HDR INFRARED Face detection.. So there is a lot to consider here so it is hard for me to help you out much more but i will say that I had the Panasonic UX180 for 12 months then I got rid of it HDR AND LOTS OF OTHER THINGS where SHIT . I would not recommend it. I wish you good luck with you hunting
Thank you very much for your comments much appreciated
Cheers Derek
Thank you so much for this video! I've been trying with the DSLR that I had but I find it doesn't work very well.. I have about 80 tarantulas and I haven't been enjoying filming them with it, I find that it's very difficult to get the right depth and when I have a few mm of the specimen in focus the rest is a blurry mess and you miss out on SO much of the gorgeous critter! I may take the plunge and try a camcorder like you. I share your same passion to want to film nature and make documentaries regardless of the attention they may get. But instead, here in Canada haha, there is a lot of cool stuff here people just don't know about! So again, thank you :) You have a new subscriber and I will definitely check out your other videos!
Hi Archaea
Thank you so much for your comments much appreciated and for subscribing.
Good Luke with filming wildlife and nature. It is some times exciting rewarding frustrating but most of all it is addictive.
Cheers Derek
@@DerekHilton luckily I am already use to 10 hours of wait for 5 minutes of good moments haha that's what being a tarantula keeper is all about xD
this great to see Rob QLD
Hi Derek. Did you end up buying the XF705? With the XF605 out now, I am strongly considering that for my wildlife filming.
Hi Tim
No I decided to stick with the XF400 its good enough for me at this time . The XF605 is the better buy but the mite be something better around the corner .
Cheers Derek
@@DerekHilton Thank you. Keep up the good work.
Precious video for me, I am starting to change my camera/camcorder. I shot my nature documentary with 5D MKII and it was a bit frustrating, I believe I will follow your advice. :-)
Is there any brand that might be the best Panasonic or Sony something along those lines I’m also hoping to record at night have any suggestions?
Edit: great video by the way!
G'day - am using Panasonic GH5 with excellent results with wildlife. Great image quality and depth of field. Compact and amazing features.
@@bushguidebaz6540 thank you for your help! I ended up getting the Panasonic HC-W850 it’s pretty good to me so far and has really good quality even though it is not in 4K and also really good night vision just have to figure out how to focus it better!
@@spencerg9375 Beaut - all the best with it!
Have you had a chance to look at the new Panasonic AG CX-350? It appears that it could stack up against the 705 rather well, with a much lower price.
Hi Bernie
YES not much gets past me when it come to cameras. It is identical to the UX180 in looks and functionality But the sensor is 15 megapixels the XU180 is 8 megapixels. So it will have more detailed in the image .
The UX180 has a slow sensor speed so slow motion is horrible.
I question whether it to ma have a slow sensor speed to . It has 10 bit 422 which is always a good thing to have .
The ux180 has a magenta color shift which i didn't like at all. Dusit have that to.
The Panasonic AG CX-350 has a lot going for it BUT! No Face Detected ! .
So I am not so impressed with it.
So There you go that's my thoughts on the Panasonic AG CX-350 which is more made for the broadcasting industry than a one man band.
Cheers Derek
Thanx Derek! Good practical info!
Hi Derek. Thank you for making this video! I’ve been struggling to figure out what I want to focus on creating for a long time. You have helped me remember that I too have wanted to record nature! I wanted to make films since I was a kid but I put that dream on the shelf and forgot about it. I want to record the sky (clouds, sunsets, rainstorms) during the day and at night and post my videos on my youtube channel. I’m also thinking it would be fun to have a sky cam mounted on my ceiling and pointed directly at the sky over my house. Can you recommend a camera for this for $1,000 or less?
Hi TZ
OK I am a tech nerd with high end cameras not with the low end much. But maybe the Canon 80D used with a lens mite be a good buy . It has good time lapse video 1080p. Or the canon 90d used timelape 4K video . Really you need to look at as many reviews as you can to find the camera that will suit you. KEH offers the variety of used cameras in the US.
sorry that I can not help you much more than that
Thank you very much for you comments appreciated and good like with your with your
Cheers Derek
Great Video, I would like to start filming wildlife to post on youtube and as a beginner I am still in the process of researching the best and most affordable camera for my beginning skill level. This was very informative for me.
You are great guy for camcorder and help me a lot to choose the camcorder. I have a very simple question for you: It's April 2020 now and is this still good time to buy xf405?
Hi James
Yes it is. search the web for a good dial there are a few out there
Thanks for your comments Much appreciated
Cheers Derek
I am using sony6400 with 70-350g plus a gimbal for videography …
This was a great video... when he said a " a s**t load of weight" it made me smile. Very practical video and a subject that is relevant to me at the mo. I am an indie filmmaker working on a short but I want to be able to do most of it on my own as I am a one-man-band filmmaker. Thank you for making this video :)
Scott, UK
Very inspiring :)
I Have Canon XF105 and Canon XF205 those cameras are best cameras what I ever use! I Also Canon 5D Mark III but only for photography. :D
Hi juedwa
You are Awesome drummer Man Cheers Derek
@@DerekHilton Thaks! :)
Love your channel 😊
Great video and you obviously have that passion but why did we not see your Camcorder. You pretty much killed off using a DSLR and yet that's what we see in your review. I have used a Sony NEX-EA50 which I recently sold and reverted back to my Nikon D500 DSLR but as you say, it is a ball ache using a DSLR for video. Lets see your camcorders?
Hi Gary
my camcorders is ruclips.net/video/DUlqNnYyBTQ/видео.html
I have a Cannon XL H1A. Do you think its better to sell this and get a 4k camera or is it worth keeping?
Hi Xena warrior P
OMG ! A flash from the past . A camera museum might be the only place that might buy it ?. If you haven't already looked at memory card cameras You will fall over backwards with how far camera technology has come since you cameras era. If you happy with the Xl H1a and it suits your needs then there's your answer. BUT if it doesn't then go and look at a modern camera that does.It will blow your mind with what you can do with then now.
Cheers Derek
@@DerekHilton Really.🙂 I looked on Amazon, B&H and Ebay and the camera is selling for 2-3 grand.
5:10 Canon XF400 Cool!
What happened to your XF305 ?
Hi Paul
I still have the XF300 use it a every now and then
Cheers Derek
I use a Sennheiser ME66 XLR shotgun microphone. You can buy an adapter that converts the XLR to 3.5 mm audio port. The microphone gets power from a 1.5 volt AA battery that you insert into the end of the mic. This might allow you to use a shotgun microphone on your SLR camera.
