New Camera Advice? Will be used to shoot a lot of Video)

[Justme19]

Hi,

I am currently in the market for a new camera, its main purpose will be to record some acoustic music performances. But I will also be traveling soon, so to take some great pictures as well.

I currently have a Nikon D90, which has no mic input and no auto focus, so I will be selling this soon.

The cameras that have stood out to me are Sony SLT-A65 and Canon EOS 700D . I am currently leaning towards the song as it seems to be an all round better camera. I have picked up and held both of these cameras in store, the auto focus on the Sony seemed to be much faster then the Cannon!

The only reason I have not brought the Sony is because the flip out screen can not be view when recording yourself, (So I can't double check that I am in frame) hence why I love the Cannon so much!


Any suggestions to other cameras or just some general advice on why one of the other is superior for shooting video would be much appreciated.
