I am farely new to filmmaking, I have done alot of event recording but not filmmaking. I have been using the Panasonic GS400 and they are great, but I want to get into a camera that is a little bit more than just 3 CCD. I have a budget of about 1500. 00 and I am looking at buying a camera from ebay possibly a Cannon GL2 or Cannon XL1. I need help on deciding on a good camera for my budget. I am looking at doing DV Shorts and possibly entering into a film festival in the near future.
