Q. I am a film student, and I want to buy my firs Video camera to start working in small personal projects. Anybody could recommend me what would be a good initial equipment to own for small productions?
Thank you in advance.
Thank you in advance.
A. If you truly are a "film student", check with a trusted teacher. Chances are they will recommend a miniDV tape based camcorder with a mic jack and manual audio control.... with the largest lenses and imaging chips you can afford.
Your first step is to set a budget - and see what camcorders fall into your budget range.
Keep in mind that the camcorder is only one part of your toolkit. Mics, tripod (or other steadying device), rechargeable high capacity batteries, lights, cases, lenses and lots of other stuff will be needed - even for small productions. It is possible to use lesser camcorders, but the reduced flexibility you get from them will become quickly frustrating.
If you go the miniDV tape route, your computer will need a firewire port to import the video for editing. If it does not have one, hopefully it has an available expansion slot so you can add one. If it does not - or you are unwilling or unable to add a firewire port, then your other option is flash memory - the video files copy to the computer using USB but many times need converting in order for the video editor to do anything with the video. Hard disc drive camcorders use the same file types are flash memory so video quality is the same - but hard disc drive camcorders have known problems with high levels of vibration and high altitude (over 9,800 feet), they are longer recommended unless there is a specific reason to use HDD based cams (long record time).
Consumer DVD based camcorders' video is so poor for editing, record time is short and transfer to computer is challenging, they never make the short list.
