The HD1010 , it is designed as easy to use .
Anything more advanced than that , it needs other than long hands , a long learning curve.
And I had start to dislike, the new learning curves in my age.
All that I am saying is , that large zoom lens are the opposite of the wide angle ones = narrow angle
The opposite of wide angle is telephoto. The longer the focal length, the narrower the angle of view. Size has more to do with light gathering capability than focal length, ultra wide-angle objectives tend to be quite large compared to standard or moderate telephoto objectives.
Both 24-70mm and 70-200mm zoom lenses are a little under 3x zoom, but the latter has a much narrower angle of view than the former. Hence my assertion that zoom ratio does not determine angle of view or focal length.
I hope that I don't incur any wrath for necro-posting… I was wondering if Dave ever upgraded from his Sanyo HD1010.
If you had bothered to at least watch some of his latest videos (especially the recorded version of one of the latest live broadcasts) you would have found the answer.
He has two Canon cameras, Canon HF G10 and the older one is Canon HF M400.
You can click on search above and enter "canon" and enter "eevblog" in the "by user" field and you'll find Dave's posts with details about the cameras, what he likes about them, what no, and so on
