9/11 video?

Q. There was a video I remember seeing, right after 9/11/01. It was taken by a fireman in training. I don't remember what this video was called though. It was rather long, and completely unedited. There was also a part i remember where the people in the building used this camera as a flashlight. Does this video ring any bells? all answers would be appreciated :-)

A. The link is below.
It was an amazing documentary of Sept 11th by two french journalist brothers. It is usually shown on CBS on the eve of Sept 11th - I haven't checked the listings yet but I hope it will be show tomorrow evening.
The video can also be purchased on Amazon.com.

What kind of cameras do journalists use?
Q. You know when you see journalists and their cameramen. The cameras they use. What type of cameras would that be.

A. Journalists do not use cameras, news photographers use still cameras and TV news cameramen use Video cameras.
=========
As an Australian I am converting the costs here in Australia into the equivalent US Dollars. Costs may actually be lower in the US.
--------
If you are talking about News Photographers, they may use a Nikon or Canon digital still cameras (the two most common used in the industry) usually costing around $US 2,000 for the body only then there are the various lenses which vary in cost from around $US600 to $US2,500 each. A news photographer would have at least four lenses with him. Then he would have a tripod and flash gear.

If you are talking about the TV news cameramen, then they may use a number of different brands. Sony is the most common but there are also "Ikagami"and "Panasonic" and some lesser brands. Most used now are wide-screen digital CCD Betacams and can cost about $US 100,000 per camera and recorder (for the top of the range cameras) while some use cheaper models (around $60,000). Then there are the portable lights, plug-in lights, tripod, batteries and battery chargers, microphones, leads etc. To fit out a "TV News Car" costs over $US 250,000.
