Equipment suggestions for ethnography/anthropology fieldwork

[polyglot17]

I am a linguistic anthropology Ph.D student who does fieldwork on language contact, migration, and interaction in Southeast Asia and could use some advice on field equipment. I am mainly looking for a good camera that I can use for pictures (mostly street photography) and video (for interactional analysis), as well as a durable laptop that can run programs like ELAN, Praat, etc., and handle basic video editing. Advice on good audio recorder (I’ve been looking at Zooms But haven’t made any decisions yet) would also be appreciated. Thanks so much!

Your best bet is going to be to contact grad students and professionals in your specific subfield. Is their a listserve you can email?
