Hi, I'm thinking of making a documentary and was wondering what would be the best camera for me to use. Budget isn't really a major issue just as long as I don't spend $10,000. The cheaper the better of course.
I keep hearing about how HD is so much better than SD but I don't understand anything at all about filmmaking. I'm scared to buy a camera and not be able to use it correctly or something. Does the instructional video that comes with the camera suffice or should I take courses in film making first?
Many say that the Panasonic DVX100B is a good camera but it seems to be SD. Again I don't understand the difference at all. Others say to buy the Panasonic AG-HVX200A. Which of these is better? If you know of a better camera than these 2 for shooting a good documentary please tell me about it! Please talk to me as if you are talking to an idiot in filmmaking because that is what I am. Should I get 2 cameras? Or is one enough?
Thanks!
