Ha! I used alliteration. My english teacher would be proud.
Anyways, Hello there. I am very new here to sfm.com, and to filmmaking in general. My friend and I are very interested in pursuing careers in film. One hurdle that we can’t seem to get over, however, is the selection of a cheap, yet decent quality camera to start off with. Both of us have been researching quite a bit online. But fact of the matter is there are just too many choices! And it doesn’t help matters at all that when we look at the technical details of the camera we might as well be trying to read ancient Aztec hieroglyphics. Also looked into different formats, and HDV seems to be the closes match to what we want.
Here is what we are looking for in a camera:
-Below thee $1500 price range.
-High quality recording
-Format that’s easily editable using computer
It matters not what it looks like or how big it is (unless it’s a behemoth the Titans would be jealous of. No, not the football team). We just want to start ‘practicing’ as soon as possible. I know opinions are bound to differ greatly here, and all are welcome.
Thanks in advance!
