*Best affordable Camera for filming Sets & making IG Clips:
~ The Sony ZV-E10 ($800) ~

Not Netflix approved, but it's excellent for filming sets and clips. Crisp and clear.
when I lived in NYC, I was passed for check spots at New York Comedy Club. a lot of solid comedians were using it in the clubs (Alingon Mitra who had 240K followers for example), so that helped push me over the edge and purchase. I'd never spent that much on a camera before.
The ZOOM function was excellent if you need to film your set from the back of the room to a well-lit stage. I'm selling one for $600 with a Rode Shotgun Mic, Tripod and Hardshell Case, Battery and Charger, bundle. It's in mint condition.

So, I was watching "Wednesday" on Netflix and was amazed by many scenes. I googled which camera was used in that show and this thing came to my result. I'm wondering, are there any benefits to using Netflix-approved cameras, or those are just listed as Netflix wants it that way? Sony FX6 looks cool but pretty expensive.
