Ok, I am about to embark on my first attempts at shorts and the process of really learning. I have an older Sony Hi8 camcorder but I have been also thinking of other cameras.
I have been looking at Super8 cameras on Ebay and checking the local flea markets and such for them in the area. But I am wondering if MiniDV would be the way to go. I dont have a huge amount of cash to spend but 3 or 400 dollars can be workable. The thing is, some of the better Super8's on the Ebay auctions can reach that price too.
That said, I am soliciting your thinking on whether to go Super8 or MiniDV. I cannot afford a DVX or anything like that yet so I'm wondering if there would really be a difference.
Well, I've blabbed enough. Any insight would be very appreciated. And as usual, thank you in advance for helping the severe newbie.
