What is a good camera for a novice filmmaker?

Q. I'm looking for a quality camera for a novice filmmaker. Something relatively easy to use and hold on my own. Something versatile. But something that will produce a beautiful picture that will look professional.

If possible, I would like to stay under $5,000. And, if possible still, under $2,000. Thank you.

A. Sony HDR-FX7, HDR-FX1000.

Both are miniDV tape based and assume your computer has a firewire port because that is the only way the video will get from the digital tape and into the camcorder in best, high definition, video format.

Don't spend all your money on the camcorder.

tripod
video lights
wireless lavaliere mics
wired mics
steadying devices (shoulder mount, vest stabilizer system, etc.)
cases, cables
optional high capacity batteries from the camcorder manufacturer...

If your computer can't handle firewire, then look at the JVC GY-HM100.


What video camera will work well with Mac book pro?
Q. I have a Sony 40gig hd video camera but it doesn't work with Mac. I would like to buy something under 5 grand. Something that works easily with the mac book pro. I am not a pro buy any means but do enjoy mud and water filming any help would be great thanks.

A. I am guessing you want to get a whole new camera then to work with your macbook pro. The best place to find mac compatible video cameras is going to be on apple.com there are quite a few different choices including a Cannon HG10 High Definition Camcorder which is similar to the sony 40 gig, because it records in hd and has a 40 gig hard drive that it records to. The damage will only be 1,000 dollars, but if you need to buy any video software that is where it gets really expensive. If you are going for a full blown professional camera then I would suggest the Canon GL2 Mini DV Camcorder. It will be enough equipment to record professional and quality video, but will run you 2,800 dollars before tax. Another option for you is to use a av input converter for mac.
