i find getting an answer for these kinds of questions are never met. people kind of dance around the subject, but never actually make suggestions (very rarely that is) it's hard to figure out if the price/performance for the gh2 in regards to buying lenses and adapters is better than that of...

so what would be a good choice that wont break the bank and can be used as a boom? the Rode VM you suggested? love it. and yeah, newbie 1200 for me. and considering the options, youtube and vimeo for now, with the possibility of entering some stuff into competitions and festivals in the future.

Thanks everybody for your input. I am planning on taking some filmmaking courses. I've worked as PA before, and my buddy has just recently finished his own feature film. Honestly, right now I just want to start shooting. I'm a firm believer in learning on your own, but I also know how...

Hey Everybody! So glad I found this forum, as it seems you guys are very helpful. I just recently decided to start making short films again in the hope of building up to a feature length project and I have no idea where to proceed from here. I've been doing research on cameras, and honestly...
