Hello panel.
I want to purchase a decent camcorder.
Primary use is to record gigs that my lad plays, so sound quality is important, and maybe the odd bit of porn in the local Aldi car park, so low light capability is important too.
I understand a bit about 4K and with a budget of c£700 there are a few available, however, I don't want to produce videos so big (in pixel terms) that it will take a week for it to load them to YouTube.
A pal of mine recently bought a Sony Music Recorder, which has great audio through it's twin mics, but it's got no zoom meaning you have to get up close, which isn't always possible - and a side viewfinder too .

I think I've learned that a camcorder will be better than a DSLR or phone for the usage I'm after.
And I also think I want wireless control.
All feedback/experience/recommendations gratefully received .
And I'm joking about the porn in the Aldi car park - it will be a Waitrose as a minimum .
