BEST BEGINNER CAMERA for YOUTUBE? (TZ90 vs HX99) 

It does allow Manual Focus, indeed. My bad. I have pinned your comment, so that other can see it. Thank you for the heads-up and for passing by ;)

I'm glad it was helpful. Indeed, I should have fit more samples, although I wanted to share mostly the long-term user experience, which often do not fit usual reviews. Thanks so much for passing by ;)

Thank you so much for passing by and commenting :)

Thank you so much 😊

Thank you so much! :)

Also better autofocus and better stabilization.

Thank you :)

Thank you :)

Hey Greg, my first Panasonic (GH2) was indeed overwhelming coming from the DSLR world (Canon 600D) a few years ago... but don't worry you'll eventually find it intuitive and make good use of Panasonic's Custom modes in which you can save/recall your settings for different scenarios (example: C1: street photography, C2: 4K video, C3: low light, etc). I would say to try to use your camera in "S" mode for now (Shutter Priority). Try to set the shutter speed between 1/100th and 1/200th of a second and let the camera take care of the other settings. Try to take a few pictures and compare them with a few pictures taken in IA mode. See which one is better... and keep tinkering the settings. I would say to set the focus to "AFC" (Auto Focus Continuous) for now, and if it does not suit you, or if you see that it "fights against you" try AFS instead (Auto Focus Single). Read the "Focus, Brightness (Exposure) and Colour tone Settings" paragraph on the manual for details about how do they work. Make sure to take the camera around before your trip and to experiment with the settings beforehand, otherwise you'll miss some beautiful Italian monuments to stare at the Panasonic Menus :) Thanks for passing by and good luck with your new camera Ale

Thanks 😊

Apparently they are very similar. The tz95 has just a better viewfinder, which I didn't need... so I saved up a bit of money by getting the tz90 instead.

The Sony can. I discuss this in this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pnmcRv3VRH4.html

Hey there. I think the two cameras in this video are both good options to start out. They have a pretty impressive zoom and are stable enough. Otherwise, you may want to take a look at interchangeable lenses cameras. If you do, I would say maybe go for micro 4/3 (Panasonic, Olympus), so you can benefit from the crop factor and therefore get even more zoom with compact lenses. Try to get a camera with animal eye focus detection. It may really help. Thanks for passing by ;)

Yup, both the HX99 and the TZ90 are perfect RX100 companions. The only thing I would consider if I was you though are the dimensions, though. If you are used to the RX100's shape and you like it, then consider that the TZ90 would be sensibly bigger and not always "pocketable", whether the HX99 would be exactly as big as the RX100 and you may have a few accessories that would fit already. Surely, Sony's tiny viewfinders are annoying! Otherwise, both cameras are great choices. Thank you so much for passing by ;)

Glad you found the comparison useful. And thank you for passing around ;)

The TZ90 has an adjustable diopter: it's great for specs ;)

for video recording goes from 35 to 1050 mm.

The red LED will go out when the battery is charged, other wise it will illuminate red when charging, or flash if a problem.

It has a 4K recording limit of 15 minutes (or at least the TZ95 does).

@@emilholmgrenmusicThanks!

@@destynick The Panasonic FZ82 bridge camera will shoot up to 29 minutes, if you need even more.

The Sony is a great choice, and definitely more portable! Thank you for passing by :)

The Sony does better video, anyway.

Yes, it could be a good option, but there could be other options to consider, too. What do you need the camera for? And what is your budget?

@@AleSuggests I think my budget is around under £400 and I'd like it to take nice photos on trips, I also live around a lot of nature that I'd like to capture and I'd like it to do decent video.

​@@georgewalker4260 Then maybe a powerzoom like the TZ90 which is compact but also offers a huge zoom should be convenient for travelling and wildlife photo/video. Just mind that if you want something extremely compact that could fit in your pocket, the Sony HX99 is another very good choice (the Panasonic is not "pocketable"). Also, the Sony HX99 can do slow motion, which may be a lot of fun when it comes to taking videos of animals. You could also potentially buy a camera with detachable lenses if you could find something second hand (Sony a5100, Panasonic gh4, Panasonic g80, Canon m50, etc)... that would mean having a much more powerful system that could be upgraded in the future with nicer lenses, but also increasing substantially the bulk. I hope this helps, and let us know what you end up buying ;)

@@AleSuggests OK, thank you for your help 🙏 😊

Thank you!!! 😉

Thank you so much for passing by 😉

No input mic in both the cameras, you are correct. There are two clips in the video in which I try to showcase the audio straight out of the camera: - 3:32 talking behind the cameras (indoor) - 4:40 talking in front of the cameras (outdoor) I personally believe that the audio of the Sony is superior, but the Panasonic is decent too. Although, I would suggest pairing any of the two cameras with a Zoom H1 (or H1n) + Rode VideoMicro when wanting the best audio. I tend not to trust camera preamps lately, even when they have the mic jack. Thank you for passing by ;)

These are some GREAT information! Hopefully I won't ever need to dig more about this though :) Thank you so much for sharing!

The Panny uses its battery faster than the Sony.

Yeah that 5 minutes limit is, indeed, too short for me as well. It's such a shame because the HX99 has so much potential otherwise. Thank you so much for passing by

I'm afraid you are correct. It may be because mirrorless are becoming smaller and smaller. At this point, a Sony ZV-E10 is almost as small as a compact camera, so it may make more sense to just buy something with replaceable lenses? I will miss compacts, though

I think if you can grab a sweet deal the TZ90 is still a good camera. I still have it and currently use it, but it depends on what you need it for. Thanks for passing by ;)

@@AleSuggests Thanks,I m thinking specially about the super zoom.I would like to use it for recording short clips of football player in football matches.I can get an used one for half price.

​@@mananak-in8559 Yup, the big zoom is a big deal. I shall add that the Sony HX99 has got a pretty decent 1080p slow motion and arguably a better autofocus... that could maybe come in handy for sport events? However, you cannot really go wrong with either one if you snug a nice price. Best of luck and let us know if you end up grabbing one ;)

Probably none of them. Too many limitations (recording time, audio quality, sensor size, etc). If I was you I would look at a camera that allows you to plug an external microphone, and that allows you to exchange lenses, so that you can buy a lens that works well in low light. What is your budget? Are you willing to buy second hand or only new?

@@AleSuggests its not allowed to bring a profesional camera with changeable lenses, so something small compact with budget like those two Cameras here in the video

​@@avessim92 I really like the audio of my partner's camera (DJI Osmo Action 1). It is incredibly stable, I don't think it's got any recording limitation and the battery last a very long time. It's good in low light, too. I'd consider it if I was you... the only problem is that the shots are going to be wide, due to its fixed wide angle lens. Another option could be the Sony ZV1... I never tried the camera yet, but it's got flippy screen, mic jack, great autofocus and I think if you don't shoot in 4K you may get a pretty decent amount of recording time. You need to check how it behaves in low light and if the lens has got enough zoom for what you are after. Good luck and let us know which one you chose eventually... and thanks for passing by ;)

Thanks for sharing the info ♥

Gutted! I did not know that :( Thanks for passing by, btw ;)
