Part 2:
The camera budget is extremely flexible (unlimited), and I simply want the very best machine for the job. I realize since I dont have hopes of putting this on the big screen, it reduces the expense of the camera greatly, so while what I would need might not be expensive, if there's somthing much better but much more expensive, I'd still consider it. I would prefer to get a recommendation from a filmmaker rather than a sales person, especially since what I'm reading seems to lead me to believe that I wont need to spend much money at all. A recommendation from you would be priceless, almost all the filming would be of conversations (diner, car ride, and manytimes on a couch in a livingroom) and as I said this would only be for DVD or online viewing, but I do want the best possible quality picture possible for those outlets. Thanks a LOT for your time, I do appreciate it. Christian
