I am a university student interested in making a short documentary film based on a research project. I will be doing close up shooting, a mix of indoor/outdoor, and some interviews.
I am completely new to the field, and I am wondering what kind of camcorder I could get for under 1000 dollars? Should I opt for a higher end non-professional camcorder or get a low-end professional camcorder? I would love to get something easily portable since I will be going abroad in about 6 months, but at the same time I don’t want to sacrifice quality. Would it be better to buy new or get something used off of ebay?
Thanks, I would love any suggestions or ideas!
I am looking to upgrade my current camcorder. I am looking at spending around $600 and am open to all formats. I currently have a Canon Mini Dv and love it but it is 5 years old and a few issues have arisen forcing me to look at a new one.
I am using it for home movies only, not professional.
Hi. I currently own this video camera ( http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Panasonic-SDR-H60-Hard-Drive-SD-Card-Camcorder-Silver-SDRH60/sem/rpsm/oid/204258/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do ) and have been unsatisfied lately due to low quality and very, very low battery life.
I’ve been looking around at more professional cameras and have found that this one ( http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=11038608 ) looked pretty good, but it has no night filming feature, which I’d like to have.
As you can probably already see, I’m not afriad to spend a good bit of cash, as long as the camera is worth the money.
I’m not too picky with the type, like MiniDV, HD, or SD, but the one that I currently have is SD, and I’m not too familiar with MiniDV or HD, so I’m not sure which one works best.
Also, I really like the Sony Handycam products because of the quality etc. But, I’m willing to look into other brands if they are just as good or better.
*preferably UNDER $1000* I really want to get into film production and I figured I would test the water - you have to start somewhere, right? I’m looking mostly for 1) high picture quality and 2) ability to execute simple cinematic effects like focusing in and out on an object. I may show it to the admissions directors at UCLA as part of my “portfiolio” when applying to the film school next year, so I really would like it to look professional as possible.
I’m looking for a 3 CCD professional “camcorder” for making films/movies. But, there are just too many. I’ve been told that the Canon xl2, xl1(xls1), XH A1, and XH G1 are the best, but then I hear about JVC. I’m looking for something that’s easy to use, and easy to learn. Help?
I’m in the process of making a short movie, but I’m looking for a movie camera on e-bay. What is the best type to buy on the cheap to use for a short movie to get a professional look? (Not a bog standard Home camcorder)
Then transferring it to 16 or 35mm, etc. Has anyone out there tried this, I know it’s getting more popular for low budget producers like myself.!
