Hay is anyone here any experienced photographer or videographer?
I am interested in buying a camera or possible a video camera and I want to know what a good one is for both?
What makes a good camera? Mega pixels, zoom, or attachable zoom lens. exc...
What defines a camera as HD?
jjd? greg?
My uncle TJ Thompson has camera skillz
Are you looking for a camera or video camera, or an all in one camera/video camera? How much are you looking to spend?
Depends on how much you want to spend and what your looking to do.
Video: If your gonna be doing like interviews and ringside work you can't go wrong with the Panasonic P2, but zoom isn't great for long lens outdoor work. you'll also need the cards, which are expensive and a comp with and editing program. Like Final Cut Pro.
If your gonna do photo stuff talk to Greg he'd know more than me.
Hey jjd,
is my Canon GL2 still good enough for semi commercial stuff?
or do i NEED to upgrade to a HIDEF?
*Hijaqs thread
Sub,
GL2 is good, (I'm a sony man myself, but also like the P2)
You really don't need HD yet, although everyone is headed that way.
Things put on the interweb arn't HD quality yet as the interweb isn't HD.
As for you own stock footage you might want to upgrade so later when everything is HD your library is HD and you can sell or use it.
Guess it really depends on what your using it for and again your budget.
food for thought!
I use a Flip...
his name's Ignacio.. i keed.
LOL!

Thx jjd,
yah i guess it's still good enough for my homemade pron ;)
Chee!
Pron? well why didn't you say so.. Upgrade is a must as the pu$$y looks much better in HD on HD widescreen tv! lol
^^ahhh hell no HD ruined pron imo... U can see all the ingrown hairs and sh*t..lol when it comes to pron not so crytal clear can be a good thing. lol
Sub, you have to worry about the weight while you hold the video cam in one hand and whack with the other. It gets heavy...and no I have do not have experience.
Faixa, we have the honor of having two experts in cameras and video cams. Ask away. Greg and JD know their stuff.
Hay Mike... WOW you were my very first instructor. A long time ago in a galaxy far far away.
Im looking just to start getting into it as a new hobby. Nothing to big. More for personal use. My max is going to be around 1K. And I am leaning alot more to a video camera. I want to go to traveling and create a video blog possibly.
