I'm looking for a video cam that is good for recording content that can also take still cam shots. The wife and I are looking to get into fetish content and after a lot of looking around I have no idea what's actually good to use vs. what's been uprated on Amazon or sponsored from some tech magazine. I'm trying to stay in the 300-500 dollar range. Thanks to any knowledgeable person who reaches out with a suggestion or two.
