Hey all, Long time listener, first time caller. I've been doing some research into cameras and figured maybe some of you guys could give me some advice. I currently own an A7s with the Zeiss 24-70 f4 as well as a number of vintage lenses and adapters. I've been shooting for a number of years, and have accumulated a small number of lights, audio gear and a half-decent tripod. I use my gear as a low-cost alternative for shooting corporates (I used to own a Sony PD150, then a V1, then moved to Canon for DSLRs, and now I'm back to Sony again). I also shoot music videos, TVCs, docos etc. which I use all sorts of different cameras (including Alexas, REDs, Blackmagics, Canons and even film), but that's not related to the question I'm asking. I've become involved in a media company who are very good at print and radio media and make a lot of money doing what they do. They're wanting to branch out into video work as a test, and want me to head-up their video section. The dream is that the video side of the business will eventually evolve into a full fledged production company, but for the moment it's going to be for events and corporates for the company's clients, with a view to continuing to expand. With that said, they've budgeted ~$2500 to put into camera equipment. The first project we'll use my gear, but the idea is to buy some equipment for $2500 to put the company in a place where they don't have to rely on my equipment, and I could simply come in and shoot using their stuff, and for slightly bigger events, it can be used as a 2nd camera to my A7s. I'd prefer not to spend all $2500 on a camera and lens combo - it would be nice to be able to get perhaps a semi-decent tripod and/or slider as well. As they're used to audio production, they have some options for audio, however getting some audio gear as well would be nice. In saying that, I know little about decent low-cost options for tripods or sliders. I can get a GH4 with the 12-35mm f2.8 for $2380, which is great except it leaves me little to no room to get much else. I was thinking the A7ii, but at ~$1900, I would need to pair it with a kit lens (~$300) - and whilst it potentially matches better with my A7s, the GH4 offers potentially similar low-light capability, 4k and a much faster lens for a very similar price. I like the new stabilisation on the A7ii, and it's full frame which does match better. Then there's the NX1, which I know very little about. I'm not particularly interested in Canon as I was never happy with any Canon DSLR I shot on, even 5D, and the 5D is out of the price range for this anyway, even if we were to hack it and shoot raw. Which brings me to my question (finally ;)) - with the collective experience of the users here, what's your opinion on the GH4 vs A7ii (keeping in mind it would be nice - though not essential - if it matched with my A7s), and what other options are there to consider at a price point that's similar or less. Also, what's your opinions on low cost tripods and/or sliders? Keep in mind, I'm in Australia so prices will differ slightly. Literally any help is highly appreciated. Thanks!
