hey everybody, im a beginner when it comes to film making and am currently using a fairly cheap camera and feel that its time for an upgrade. i still dont have tons of money to spend im looking for something under $500. i've done some research and think im going with the JVC Everio GZHD3, its a 3CCD camera which is good from what i hear it is also HD, and has a slot for an external mic and has 60gig of HDD space. i found it for $435 i was wondering if you guys had any thoughts on this. like whether it was worth the money or not? thanks in advance for your guys help, i really appreciate the knowledge that you guys make readily available for us beginners.
