My dad drew a really good archery elk tag in Arizona and I plan on going with him and filming his hunt. I have a Canon 80D DSLR and a Sony A6000, but I haven't done any video with them. I would think it would be a pain to film with these cameras because your focal lengths are limited without switching lenses. I have a 200-400mm for my Canon so I would be able to have some reach for filming elk, but if I wanted to have my dad in the frame he might be too close for that lens. I also have the kit lens for the 80D. My A6000 would work good for close ups but it doesn't have the reach for filming animals.
Can someone either offer advice on how to make it work with these cameras, or give me suggestions on a camera that would work for me? I would prefer to stick with Canon and Sony models since I am already somewhat familiar with them. I am pretty intrigued by the Sony RX10 iii, but the price is more than I want to spend and I am worried if I got that camera then I would never use my 80D. I am not very familiar with what it costs for a good quality camcorder, but since I already have a bunch of money into cameras I would prefer to spend under $700. I would be open to getting something used too.
