    I'm looking for a professional camera myself, but am I right in thinking that this doesn't shoot in HD?

    Project Direct/YouTube

    I entered. It's the first thing I've actually entered, and mainly did it just to get a few people to look at my films. I only found out two days before the submission deadline though, so it was a bit of a rushed job. Still - in terms of what I wanted to do - it was well worth it. I got 900...

    Is it worth selling my Canon XL1 for a Sony DSR-PD-150?

    Thank you for that advice. The main problem I'm having though is that I'm not getting as good resolution as I would like. I assume that to solve this I need to get a HD camera?

    Is it worth selling my Canon XL1 for a Sony DSR-PD-150?

    The reason I ask is because I really want to increase the overall quality of picture on my films. Now, if I sell my camera then obviously I'll need to raise more money still to purchase the Sony DSR-PD-150. Is it worth it? I just want my films to be impressive aesthetically.

    watch Two short films; "Beat" and "Party In Cuckoo Land"

    Thank you very much for the comments. Unfortunately, that's not me in the video, it's Rebecca Jeffries- a very talented individual I agree. It's true, we don't have a lot to work with at the moment, and I don't have a team of people; I'm sixteen-years-old, been making films for about 7 years...
