Decided to go with it and upgrade my equipment /// Panasonic Lumix G85 with a 25mm 1.7 lense

I have been making videos for a while now. It took me a while to figure things out and in those two years of creating i have made only a few proper videos.
Only 1 of those wasnt shot on a mobile phone. :)
But Steem or Dtube didnt really require expensive equipment or high production value. The phone was enough. That suited me because i had no idea how to create something of such quality. :)

I am one of those creators that started on Steem. If it wasnt for Steem i would have probably never gotten into video making. For that i have steem to thank but i also have to acknowledge that ive come to a point where i have to start thinking beyond Steem.
Creating videos for 5-10 people on Steem that will see the post is great but that isnt how you can get your music out.
Ive seen so many talk negatively about Youtube but Youtube still remains the place where people come to consume content. Here, most people are looking to make a few $, which is one of the things great about Steem but its really not a place where you can build an audience, especially if you are a musician and arent involved into the daily Steem talk.

This last video i made was with the backing track by @beyonder that i recorded for @openmic last year (Elder Scrolls theme) that i really liked but never made a proper video for it.
Im not saying that this video is amazing or anything but it was fun doing. Editing aside, which is amateurish, the picture quality isnt that great and it shows. When someone sees the video that is the first thing that they pick up on.

A few weeks back i decided to give video making on youtube a legit try. I have some experience during these last two years and now i have every tool i need. If i was to make only videos for STEEM i would just post 10 times a week and the videos themselves would never need to be high effort but that would just keep me in one place, never improving.
Consciously limiting your creativity for 5$-10$ per post is silly.

That is why a purchase has been made hehe... Id call it more of an investment. :)

Me and my partner in crime have been researching various cameras that suited the budget and what we found was the Panasonic Lumix G85 as being the best bet.
We got only the body since the kit lens seems to not be that great and instead got a 25mm 1.7 lens.

The camera is really good for its price range and whats most important is that it shoots 4k in 30fps and 1080p in 60k. Ive checked some of the videos made with this combo and the videos look great imo. The camera is just a tool and it depends on the person using it what kind of video ill get out of it but i feel pretty confident that this will improve my video quality and since this was a significant investment it will motivate me to create to the best of my ability. :)

Pretty excited to start seeing what can be done with this new toy.

Just wanted to share that and cya soon. For my next music video we go to ancient Rome. :)
