I've started to shoot video for uploads to the various micro stock agencies that I deal with. If you asked me 2 years ago or even 18 months ago, I'd say you'd be crazy saying I'd be shooting video as well. I was all photography, all the time. I knew Photoshop and Apple Aperture 3.0 inside out. That's all I wanted to know and do. Now I just use Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC to edit my photos and Apple Final Cut Pro X to edit my videos. I am learning Photoshop CC again to get my certification.
As far as shooting video I just use a Canon Vixia HF R62 to shoot 1080p 60fps video that I upload to sites like Pond5, Videoblocks, Fotolia and Shutterstock. I mostly edit the video on my early 2013 Macbook Pro which has enough horse power to edit 1080p video. Last year I bought a 2015 iMac with a 27" 5k monitor to do 4k videos. After shooting with the Sony FDR AX33 4k camera and uploading to the various websites, I only sold 1080p video. Nothing 4k. So I sold the Sony FDR AX33 4k camcorder earlier this year. Since my early 2013 Macbook Pro has the horsepower to edit 1080p 60fps video, I'm looking to trade or sell my 2015 iMac for a Canon Vixia HF G40 video camera which is more of a prosumer camcorder than the Canon Vixia HF R62. Mind you the R62 is a great little camera which does what I want. Another reason I want to sell the iMac is that I want to be portable. My 2013 Macbook Pro allows me to do that. I just add an external hard drive to my laptop for off line storage and I'm ready to go anywhere at anytime.
So if you're looking to buy a mint 2015 iMac with a 27" 5k monitor with upgraded RAM, let me know.
