True but camcorder is nicer as it has all kinds of effects and other features.
Just shoot straight video and add effects in post. That way if you change your mind or don't like an effect, you don't have to reshoot.
 
I am not shooting on my iPhone. Just a preference.
You said a "camcorder is nicer as it has all kinds of effects." I answered that. I said nothing about an iPhone so don't really understand your reply.

30 years ago, in-camera effects were always a last resort kind of deal. And they limited what you could do in post. Once we aquired the ability to cheaply and easily replicate in-camera effects in post, we shot almost everything straight. We also used to shoot video with soft filters to give it a more film-like look. Now, we mostly shoot straight and, again, apply the filters in post.

I must have misunderstood you sorry. I was actually just playin with my canon camcorder and it does have effects, scene modes, other shooting modes, and even different audio modes not found on the iPhone.
 
I use the iPhone and a Lumix bridge camera. That works well for 90% of what I want to shoot. However, I keep waiting for the Sony RX10 V as my gift to myself for surviving lockdown, but it is beginning to feel like Waiting for Godot.

What type of camera is this? A DSLR or other pro camera? Or a P&S?

It's a bridge camera (only one (Zeiss) lens that covers macro to zoom, but to a decent standard - see https://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/cyber-shot-compact-cameras/dsc-rx10#local_banner_default and
for a review). It's not really a pro camera, but one for enthusastic hobbyists. On my part the RX-10 fits the bill for being portable, robust and versatile, since I do a lot of hillwalking, but the latest model was released in 2017. Rumours of a new model being released have been circulating since 2019, but COVID seems to have delayed the introduction of the next model or killed it off completely. I could buy the model introduced in 2017, but it seems weird paying so much for a design that is four years old. :/

Wow
 
I love my RX10 IV -- definitely it is a bridge camera and the range is excellent, from 24mm - 600mm (35mm equiv on a 1" sensor). Although it can be used as a P&S it also can be manually controlled by the photographer to the extent desired. It's really useful for travel or for walking around casually. I initially bought mine back in 2018 to take on a trip and didn't expect to like it as much as I do. If Sony ever does bring out an RX10 V, I probably would buy it, but I have the feeling that an. update to the RX10 series camera probably won't happen.

Watched that video. Nice camera. Better than my Powershot.
