Best affordable camera with low latency on HDMI out

[bigteks]

I wish there was a matrix of cameras where one of the columns was HDMI out latency. No one seems to publish this info. This is the most important decision factor for us along with price and giving us a reasonably good picture. It is for an overflow room at a live venue. It can’t lag the live performance because the live performance bleeds into the room. We don’t need to switch the video signal, it is just a straight HDMI cable from camera to monitor. It seems like most cameras have noticeable lag. Any suggestions on some cameras that can meet this requirement?

I have used a Sony HXR-NX30u for that exact purpose. The lag was not perceptible.
