Prefrence to how you define 'Better'. Resolution cap.? media flow? expense? reliability?

I have a 2.0ghz 2g ram 250g iMac and it edited 720p files well.

^not if your starting out. HD just makes mistakes look worse. And being a new filmmaker, it'll make your lighting/costume/make-up/ect. look worse if it's not done correctly.

The dvx100 was, and is, a great camera. It's a very old camera, but is still widely used today. It has everything you need in a basic camera, and would do you justice. Don't worry about the camera, worry about the story.

It doesn't exist.

It was all Steadicam beside the a few shots near the stairs which was used a crane.

The HM700 is a great camera. I'd go with the HPX300 and then the EX3 if you want to spend the money, it's definately worth the extra grand.

Rik and Roc nailed it.

50mm is a 'normal' length lens, and is the closest to the human eyes natural focal length. Films are usualy shot with a variety of lenses, the most common are 28,35,50,85,100,135 and are usualy the base for most lens series. A f1.8 is considered a 'fast lense' as most hollywood films shoot...

as rik said " in this business a person who spent four years working in the business is considered more a professional than one who spent the last four yeas in college." oh, it does help you get internships easier...

an AC would be the best answer to your problem.

^No, it's very unprobable.

Yes and no.

^as sonny said. The disadvantages are mostly technical besides the matrial/construction. But it's worth the $200.

You use the focal ring on the lens itself to adjust focus. You need to set a 'back focus' with the camera before you shoot.

You have a piece of dust on your lens, in the upper left hand corner.

Both the HVX200 & EX1 are great cameras. The scarlet isn't out and won't be for a while, so forget that idea. They both shoot the same res, 720p/1080i, although hvx has a 1/3inch chip while the EX has a 1/2inch. The ex1 also has a better stock lens. That being said, it's more expensive, and...

it's 1080p with 24frames with the new update. It's good in low light and has relitively cheap fast lenses.

I have a PC & a Mac side by side. I use my PC 95% of the time. It's all personal prefrence.
