    Need to record wedding ceremony and speeches - camera recommendations, please

    You could have a look at a bridge camera such as the panasonic fz2000, it records 4k, and has a great lens, with ibis and a mic input and headphone jack.

    Are prime lens worth the money these days?

    For me personally, the faster aperture is the main reason for using primes. For portraits and video interviews, (my main use cases) there's no zoom that can give you the separation of an ultra fast prime. You don't have to spend silly money. For seated video interviews, I picked up a...

    Trigger for Ninja V

    It should be triggered to record by your camera, a signal from the camera to the ninja v over hdmi starts the ninja recording when you press record on the camera. Make sure the camera and the ninja have the latest firmware. You may need to select "remote trigger" in the cameras menu.

    Hero 10 worth the upgrade?

    Yes definitely worth upgrading, but imo, the hero 7 black is the best value for money if your looking for a second hand one. The hero 11 is due to be announced in September, so I'd wait to see what it offers, and what it does to the price of the 10.

    Rode Wireless Go vs Go 2?

    The go2 also has internal recording in the transmitters, which can be great as a back up if you experience interference or drop outs between the transmitters and the receiver. However, I found the transmitters to be far too big to use without adding lav mics, so I purchased the picogear...

    Beginner Blackmagic options for starter to film stuff?

    Blackmagic cameras are capable of great results, but are quite demanding for newcomers to use. They have no AF (or single point AF) and are best used In fully manual mode. For beginners I'd suggest a second hand panasonic gh5. Or if that's too expensive, look at the excellent panasonic...

    First couple of hours with the Panasonic GX80 - First impressions.

    Did you look at the FZ2000 as an upgrade from your original bridge camera, its a great all rounder if your happy with a 1" sensor, and it's supper zoom is great, not to mention cheaper than investing in more glass.
