I am basically a beginning film maker/director and am struggling to make a decision as to what I should do. I am currently filming on a Hi-8 Sony Handicam and I am limited as to the possibilities of what I could do with it, as you probably know.( editing, quality, effects ) etc.
I am stuck on mostly two things right now, either I purchase a Canon FS100, FS200 etc. or a HD Camcorder. The problem is, I am not sure if the Fs100 is any good, and if anyone would recommend it. I like the fact that it has external mic possibilities and somewhat good quality as what I have heard. I could possibly eventually afford to get HD camcorder, but I am not sure if my computer can handle the footage and it is very expensive.
I would like a camcorder that can produce professional looking film and that is not very expensive. I would like to continue to use it for many years to come. Any suggestions or help? If HD, what recommendation?
