Best Camera Choices For Shooting A Documentary

I like the piece Noam, and it is a service to the community. Thanks for taking the time to write this and thanks for sharing it.

Two minor nits:

1) you lumped the GH3 in with the DSLRs and didn't call out its two principal advantages for docs and run 'n gun:
- autofocus that actually works (an advantage it shares with the autofocus champ, the 70D) - and
- unlimited clip length (12, 20 and 30 minute limits can be a real problem for reality/event/doc shooters)

2) You didn't mention the Sony NEX-EA50 in either the camcorder or the DSLR section. With its DSLR-sized sensor, interchangeable lenses, XLR inputs, low light capability and camcorder form factor it is, in some ways, the best of both worlds.

Cheers,

Bill
