This is the camera which we will be using to film our opening two minutes with. It is my personal camera which I use a lot of the time to capture different events and it has never disappointed me. I thought this camera will work well for our opening two minutes because I know roughly all of the settings available and how to monitor it. It films in full HD, which should make the image quality look decent. The zoom is very good, meaning we would be able to shoot from a distance and still have the picture at a good quality. Despite the camera being rather heavy, it is still manageable.
