newb needs help :)

[sweetiegirl]

Hi videomakers i recently discovered i felt a different kind of high when taking videos. I made my sister's birthday AVP MTV style ala masterjasonmagbanua (my inspiration wee) last december. and it turned out well. So my mom encouraged me to pursue videography and she offered to buy me my very first videocam. how cool eh?

But the prob is, i really don't know what to buy, you guys, i thought, would be the best people to ask coz you guys have been doing this for a long time now if im not mistaken. What camcorder to buy, this is my prob. Somebody help me.. please?

It really depends on how serious you are in the art and business hehe. anyways there are a lot of camcorder that is coming out, really very nice cam and you really cant go wrong with those. it really depends on how you wish to operate them. also depends on your budget.

heres my list

low budget cam.
HFS100
HFs10
HF100
Sony XR500
XR520.
HV20
HV40

Prosumer cam
HMC150
HMC40
HMC70
FX1000
FX1
FX7

Some good camera in the past but you can acquire a second hand unit
DVX100B
Sony VX2100
Sony PD170

also if you can consider DSLR try these:
7D
5D
GH1
D500
D90
D300s

Try to google those mentioned above coz you are the one who can really decide on what cam you really want.

Whats best for me might not be the best for you.

budget: 50-60k

Thanks for the replies

[simplyjessie]

For 50-60k budget, you can get any of the ff:

HV20 - HV30
Panasonic GS series

Or VDSLRs such as

500D
D5000
D90

The video DSLRs are great for lowlight and you can get better lenses as well as your creativity grows. Plus, you get that cinematic feel of having thin bokeh or background blurring. Downside is that you'll need to manual focus on them which I think will only serve to hone your skills.

Plus, you'll get a good photo camera for your photo needs. Diba, complete coverage package na!

hmm what about canon 7d? compared to d90? ganda ba yun pangvideo? what do u think guys? thanks sa mga nagrereply, i really appreciate all ur help guys.

[simplyjessie]

If it's about Canon 7D vs D90, then the 7D wins hands down but it's pricey compared to the D90. Nikon doesn't have a clue yet about HD video hehe (I did own a D90)

The 500d may be an ok starter or better, the 550d which is a mini 7d.
