I mean you'd have to imagine that at least some of the people coming here for advice and product information are from...a certain dark corner of the film industry.

If I bought (girls included) And the list price dropped %50 a month later, I'd still be completely satisfied, because, hey, it's a Lambo. But I don't drive my camera 50 miles a day...

Alright I'll look into those I do have wind protection but I need to get a shock-mount, and yes I have plenty of XLR cables. EDIT: Actually the DR-100mkII is only about $200 on BH! :D http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/832911-REG/Tascam_DR100MKII_DR_100mkII_Portable_Linear.html Why exactly...

Like I've said, I completely understand that I need the proper sound equipment and knowledge as well. I've looked into it and think I can probably bring up around $400 for it. I've also looked into some recorders and such. I do have a shotgun mic (ATR6550, I'm sure I could do better than that...

Something tells me if he had the money to buy a RED and did so without hesitation or waiting for an inevitable deal, it's not going to be the end of the world for him. Hey, it's a RED.

Like I said, I've come here willing to learn and look for suggestions, not uncalled for criticism. If you don't want to help point me in the right direction then I'll look somewhere else. All I've seen so far is pejorative questions and statements, not one link to a product or page like the...

Thanks Bill! I'll look into it as it now has the same pricetag as the XF100 (which can be found for $2500 as well). Not sure that I'll ever be needing 3D, though. I was looking into Black Magic, however it just doesn't have what I need (a good package all in one device). Plus I can honestly...

I'm looking for a long-term camera, so I'll be wanting to buy it through an approved Canon Retailer so that I can get it warranty repaired or repaired if need be.

So far I've been looking at USC, NYU, UNC, and CMU (to say the least). My top choice would be USC (very hard to get into, however) and second would be NYU (again, also a tough one), and they both provide cameras and materials for students with no charge (except for the huge tuition bill that...

Thanks for your input, I did build a nice little DOF adapter to which I can attach my SLR's lenses to for when I need a really really shallow DOF on something. Also, from what I've seen searching around, a lot of people have found tricks on how to give the XF100 a shallow DOF. (For example...

Hey guys! I'm an amateur filmmaker and I'm looking into getting a good, affordable Professional Camcorder for less than $3000. I'm in High School and will be needing it to make a collection of videos for my portfolio for colleges, and I want it to last me a long time. The camera I'm seriously...
