I want to get started in filmmaking. What camcorder shall I get?

Q. Alright so I want to be an ammatuer filmmaker [im 15]. I already know how to edit videos and all that sutff. I know what editing software Im buying [pinnacle studios]. I just need a camera that has good video quality and when you record, it saves to the built in hardrive or something or maybe a minidvd if its not to complicated when uploading to the computer. Something easy and simple with good video quality. But I need a good camcorder ranging from $200-$350. I cant find any! Any suggestions?
I forgot to mention that I plan on making short films. 10-30 minutes. So I hope that adds.

A. I have a Sony DCR-SR82 that works really well. It's not high Def but more than likely with your budget that's not an option anyway. I belive I paid $600 for mine but they make one with a smaller hard drive that's a bit cheaper. My Costco also sold mine so it came with a solid return policy.

What's the best budget rig for a professional camcorder?
Q. I have a Panasonic AF100. I unfortunately blew most of my budget on the body and the lens. What's a well-built, sturdy rig I can buy for $150-$350? I know this budget is very restrictive, but I am looking for sturdy metal constructed rig that can support the weight of my camera. Most of the rigs I have seen in the price range look cheap and plastic-y.

A. Rig... Please define that...

For a tripod, look into something from Davis & Sanford.

For a shoulder-mount, you can make one - or look at the SpiderBrace. With your camera weighing in at about 3 pounds + the weight of the shoulder mount, your arms will get tired pretty fast.

If you are looking for a hand-held stabilizer, again, the weight will get to you after a few minutes.

If you are looking for something like a "Fig-Rig" from Manfrotto, the 595b should be fine and it is in your price range - again, expect your arms to get tired pretty quickly when capturing long segments. It will work well for short segments.

Please define what sort of "rig" you are looking for. Any decent vest system, including Steadycam/Glidecam/Varizoom type or overhead cable systems will be about 8x more than you want to spend.
