Q. *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.
(and don't be like all those morons who say "LOL WELL MAYBE YOU SHOULD LEARN HOW TO SPELL PORTFOLIO BEFORE YOU START MAKING ONE IM 45 YEARS OLD WITH NO JOB AND I SPEND MY TIME ON YAHOO ANSWERS CRITICIZING 17 YEAR OLD KIDS OVER TYPOS!! :):):):)" cause obviously, it was a typo...)

A. if you want the best under $1000, look for a 3ccd camcorder.
if you really want to get that "film look", you'll have to pay more money. you'll need something that will shoot in 24p. a new panasonic dvx will cost you about $3500, but you can find cheaper ones on ebay.

Looking to start producing short films, what kind of camera would you recommend?
Q. I want to produce short films and am looking for an HD camera that will give me decent quality, priced under $1000? Also, I was wondering if there was a model out there where I could attach a mic to get better sound quality? Thanks!
A. Getting a HD camcorder is taking a step backward in Video Quality. Hd camcorder Interpolate the video, which means every 4th or 5th frame of a video is of what is being video-graphed, the other frames are filled in by the camcorder, thus giving you not true video. MiniDV tape camcorders give every frame of every shot and usually cost less.

Consumer level HD camcorders have 4 problems. 1) Blurry, fuzzy, out of focus areas closely around people in videos taken by consumer level HD camcorders. 2) Any movement, even a wave or lifting an arm, while in front of a recording consumer level HD camcorder, results in screen ghosts and artifacts being left on the video track, following the movement. Makes for bad video, sports videos are unwatchable. 3) These Consumer level HD camcorders all have a habit of the transferred to computer files are something you need to convert, thus losing your HD quality, to work with your editing software. 4) Mandatory maximum record times - 1 hour, 30 minutes, 8 minutes, 3 minutes – four different times advertised as maximum record time for some consumer level HD camcorders. No event I have ever been to is that short. Either take multiple camcorders or pack up with out getting the end of the event on video.
MiniDV is currently the most popular format for consumer digital camcorders. MiniDV camcorders are typically more affordable than their HDD and DVD counterparts. Each MiniDV tape will typically hold an hour of footage at normal recording speed and quality. MiniDV tapes are available for purchase at not only electronic and camera stores, but also at drugs stores and grocery stores, making them easy to find while your on vacation. There are literally hundreds of MiniDV camcorders available; both in standard and high-definition.
