Alternatively people could stop being overly sensitive. For instance, I choose not to take offence even though you're essentially saying I'm an idiot through that above quote. Life's too short to take it seriously.

I've looked into opening a coffee shop. For less than $20k you could get one of these: Mmm... coffee.

I didn't. But I do think a lot of people are misunderstanding my aims and goals. Part of this process of asking a lot of questions and determining what to get is as much about learning about cameras and other equipment as it is about actually getting any of it. Plus, I know what I want, I know...

As someone who has no experience or talent or knowledge in film-making and thus is merely imparting my immense innate wisdom upon thee, I say make it in your native tongue and add English subtitles as a separate file. SRT and YouTube allow for subtitle inclusions as a choice of the viewer. I...

Yeah, but I'm being careful around here not to shit people up the wall with my attempts at humour. Unfortunately my sense of humour is ingrained into my very nature and although I find myself to be utterly hilarious, most everyone else doesn't. I've burned more bridges than I can count in this...

Unfortunately it seems a lot of people agree with you which is why I'm finding it hard to track down a second-hand GH2 for a reasonable price. And a GH3 is pretty much my entire budget so that's not an option. I just wish I had my funds available for that auction that was linked above.

Since my quote seems to have been misinterpreted a few times I feel the need to explain it. There's a stereotypical image of a director who is a control freak and thinks they're better than everyone else around them. My joke was aimed at myself as if to say that I'm learning all of this stuff...

If your budget is that high and your primary use will be for video then get a dedicated video recorder. From what I understand the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera that is due to come out soon is supposed to be very good and it's even well under your budget.

Since one of my knees is already completely irreparably destroyed and will give me early onset arthritis in the next few years, I feel like I have a leg-up on the MMA option. Anderson Silva better watch out!

Ok, that wasn't what I thought it would be. Also a huge range so what is it I'm even looking for? Will the most basic preamp be OK for learning? DS214 Headphone Amp, Meter, AGC Disable

Two years? Puhleese, if I haven't mastered this stuff in a week then I'm dropping it and becoming a professional Mixed Martial Artist.

Umm... dude... it was a joke... and I was referring to myself... relax.

You learn all this stuff so that you know exactly what you're talking about when you're frothing at the mouth and screaming about how everyone around you is incompetent :D

If it was posted in any other forum category I might agree with you but it's in Promotions so not quite sure why you would have a problem with it.

This year all the buzz is about 4k. I can get behind 4k. 3D just gives me a headache.

I'm innocent, officer! I'm just trying to sort out what IS simple rather than complicated. Simplifying it like you did in your post makes things a lot clearer. Thanks :) Yeah, I'm trying to find volunteer positions and film-making co-ops but I have some health issues so even if I could find...

Having run my own forums at the administrator level I can tell you quite simply that it really is as simple as "just doing it".

On the remotely off chance that I ever learn enough and get organised enough to manage a production and direct, I will be requiring anyone involved to agree to one very simple principle: We are amateurs, yes, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't strive to be professional. I view it much like...

This post should be made a sticky. Also, why is there no dedicated sound forum category like there is for cameras, lenses, computers and software? Is sound not important enough?
