Hi guys,
I've been lurking around this forum for a while now, this is pretty much exactly the type of forum i've been searching for for a few months - great job you've done here.
I'm interested in doing a better job of our family home movies to start with - i've made one film before which my mates thought was awesome - but to be honest i know it was a glorified home video
.
I have been using a Sony TRV-30E which i know is kinda old and very limited, but until i saw the difference between that and a 3CCD camera output i really didnt know what i was missing!! :shock:
After doing some considerable research, i would love to get the new Canon XH-A1 but it's a bit out of my budget - so i will probably settle for a used GL2 (or XM2) as we shoot PAL over here, on top of which, the uses i will have for the camera at this stage do not require HD, although i've noticed that Mini-DV cameras with XLR inputs are not readily available - however with Beachtek accesories i could add this functionality to the XM2 if i go that route.
I'm not exactly young, however i consider myself a student all the same - i shall be enrolling in a 2 month short course on film to see if i would go for the 2 year diploma - so you can say i'm taking a cautious approach - this "hobby" is kinda expensive!
I've been into photography for a few years now and that is a wonderful thing, having more than "snapshots" of the family, kids, parents, etc...
In any case, i'll be posting in other forums my multitude of questions and am sure you guys will welcome another member into your community.
Thanks.
