So, I have a couple unrelated question about photography and video recording equipment. This is a type of technology that I am not particularly familiar with.
Question One: On hikes and other walks I often take digital photographs with an older camera (circa 2011-2012 vintage). It actually works pretty well for close up shots, but is close to worthless for pictures of things farther away. Can anyone recommend a newer digital camera that would be small enough to easily pack on hikes, but would provide better range and picture quality? Also, if there are specific tools to obtain good night pictures, that would be of interest too.
Question Two: My wife (@TeacherSmurf) wants to record various lessons, projects, etc., and place them on Youtube for viewing by her colleagues and other teachers out there in the world. She would need a digital camera and tripod, but I am not sure what to look for. And any tips on equipment and making decent quality videos would be great. The vast majority of the short videos would be taken in doors and at relatively close range.
Thanks all for any thoughts, etc. Much appreciated.
