I'm not sure any one who watches zombie films actually thinks they will come to pass. An amusing read never the less.

I realise by now there is little I can add to this topic, be that as it may, I'm gunna add something. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/escape-to-the-movies/1937-The-Expendables

Woah, no offense meant, I just found out about lmgtfy a couple of days ago and have been using it at every opportunity cos it kicks so much ass its feet smell of fart.

What do I want in a female action hero? Summer Glau.... Seriously though, you should watch the scene in Serenity where she 'gets triggered' and beats up a bar full of dudes, and later on where she beats up a room full of reavers. She moves gracefully, which is how a tiny little girl should...

I'm gunna go ahead and say don't bother with an iMac and here's why, they have all the disadvantages of a laptop (virtually impossible to replace individual components, if the screen goes the entire system is fekked, in fact if *anything* dies the entire system is fekked), with none of the...

One last point, don't neglect hard drive space. Ideally a terabyte, but at least 500 Gb. HD footage takes up a lot of space.

Wouldn't we all?

I swear I'm not a Nikon fanboy ( I shoot Sony) but the D90 was the first DSLR to shoot video, it's bound to have some floors, plus the 7D is 4 times the price and is full frame (35mm equivalent). Just checked and even the Nikon D3s, their flagship model doesn't shoot in 1080p. Fail. Nikon you...

Anyone who tells you anyone who tells you that you have to use a tripod is lying is lying ;)... In my opinion a tripod is a must, yeah, it's not the best for panning side to side like a drunk responding to the question 'were the nazi's racially accepting?' Unless you want to give your audience...

Fair enough that is something of a killer advantage. That's still only the short term picture though. Personally I'd rather invest in a system with quality glass, considering Nikon will blatantly be releasing a full HD DSLR soon. Full HD has become the iPod of the film world, if you don't have...

I'll believe you as my area of expertise is far more still images, but I'd still like to know why.

I second that motion.

Okay, I'm interested now, my advice was from a photographers point of view primarily not so much a film maker. Do Nikon really suck so much when it comes to video? And more importantly why?? Although you have to agree that not supplying a lens hood on anything but their most expensive lenses is...

First things first, when you get a camera get a tripod. Now that's out of the way, it seems that everyone and their dog on this forum recommends the canon T2i, nothing wrong with that, it's a good camera, but you've got to look at it as an investment, which means you're locked into the canon...
