What is good camcorder for someone just starting out in film?

Q. I'm looking for a used camera for filming. I've heard a GL1 or a Sony VX1000 is a good start. I'm hoping to find a used one possibly under 600.00$ Any other cameras I should consider?

A. tech is changing fast.

I see filmmakers using DSLR with hd moviemaking ability with hand grips.

search 'dslr moviemaking'. used in highend movies now. why buy 2nd rate behind the curve crap consumer cam when you can get pro quality. prices $600-900.

exciting stuff. that's what i would buy. welcome


Best camera for a beginner photographer and filmmaker?
Q. I know i want a Nikon or a Canon, but i just dont know which ones are the best. I want to be able to do some really good quality photography and i want to be able to use the same camera to make short films. Price really isnt a problem, but id probably like to stay under $600. But im kinda stuck on researching cause i dont know what cameras to look at. Thanks!
thanks! and yah i meant video, actual film is too expensive and confusing haha. but a camera that can take stills and shoot video with really nice quality is what i need. and ill be willing to spend more if its worth it.

A. When you say "Price really isn't a problem" and tell us you want to spend under $600, you put yourself in a corner.

First of all shooting video using a dDLR is NOT the best choice.

If you want to shoot video, you need to use a video camera. They are designed around producing video. A good 3-CCD video camera will cost about $5,000 or more

The two dSLR's that are known for being decent at shooting both stills and video are the Canon 5D, Mark III ($3,500 - no lens) or Nikon D800 ($3,000 - no lens) The D800 can capture uncompressed video if that is important to you.

As you can see, $600 is a tiny budget. My might be able to find a prosumer 3MOS video camera tht is close to your budget, but you will still need some kind of still camera.

Look at the Nikon D3200 and Canon T4i. They are entry level dSLR's and they have a video feature, but you still have to buy the necessary accessories to make it perform as a video camera.

Can we assume that you have a fast computer (at least a third generation Intel i5 CPU (i7 is better), 16 gb RAM and a handful of 2 tb drives and a good editing program? If not, you need to add another $3,000 to your budget
