Hey, hopefully this is in the right place ^_^
I'm a year 11 student studying IB film in school, I have decided I'd like to also study film making at university.
I would really like to buy a video camera so I can work on a portfolio for university and experiment making films in my own time instead of just at school and with cameras of friends.
What sort of camera should I buy? Initially I planned on buying a camcorder in the $1000 AUD range, although now I'm wondering if it is best that I continue saving up money so that I can buy a better camera with manual capabilities which would mean I need to save up another few thousand dollars.
So should I hold out? Or just buy a camcorder for around 1000 so I can start experimenting sooner.
(BTW, I only do small part time work so I would take me a while to save up)
