I’m a musician/artist looking to up my visual content game without constantly having my eyes glued to my iPhone. Does anyone have recommendations for a camera, preferably both photo and video? I don’t necessarily need a professional quality thousands-of-dollars one, but something that will look cool and provide room for creativity.

I’ve see the Camp Snap digital super 8 remake things, but need something where I can press record and walk away :)

iPhone: Hate to be this guy but an iPhone has a seriously good camera. Pair this with something like Adobe Premiere Pro to get into colour grading and detailed editing and you’re off to the races. It’s more about the content itself than how it looks.

Pentax Espio: Idk if you’re looking for a film camera, but I love this 35mm Pentax. I’ve been shooting on it all year. They’re usually really affordable secondhand. This is a shot I took in NYC. I’m also a musician working on analog content so I’ll be following this thread!
