My apologies, I know this question must feel like a repeating hammer to the head. Thank you ahead to those who-know like Direktor and Will for your patience.
Again with the "what's the best sub $1000 Camcorder" for Indie Film upstarts?
The slant: We will be looking to shoot more dramatic (plot line focused) versions of the popular "Trout Bum Diaries" action fly fishing movie series. Hoping to achieve a certain cinematic feel, but that's a year or 2 off the learning curve. Goal is to get a piece on the Fly Fishing Film Tour.
Also, could you point to any auxillary equipment we should consider? Waterproof housing? Special field mic? Rain cover? Monopod? etc.
We'd like to do quick underwater shots of fish being released and caught. Submerging the camera no more than a foot. Also, we'll be shooting in some extreme weather - full out December snow storms in Western New York.
From Direktors repeated recommendation listing I was considering the JVC GZ-HD7 and pv-gs500 both 8bills at bh. Should I have anything else on my radar either $200 cheaper or $400 more expensive?
