   well if ur using it for filimmaking, most of ur lighting should be controled. and for editing use premeire or vegas and afx. dont waste ur time with whatever software comes with it. but thats just my opinion.
   oh and as for battery life, just buy another battery, theyre not that expensive.

   how do you thibk about the
   sony hdr xr105E ?
8. Nubtrain says on: 30 December 2009 at 2:53 pm

   I’m deciding between the HF200 and the HV40

   I read the HF200 has better quality than the HV40 but it’s not that great in low light settings and meh battery life and the software is bad

   I want to do both indoor and outdoor filming

   I have the Canon HG20 and it’s half th eprice and twice as good as the sony, with a 60gb drive it holds loads of footage and has a mic input AND earphone output for monitor.

    The flip video camera has great potential under $200.

    I have a Canon HF20 and a DM 100 mic and it works fine for me. Its around 700$

    aw man

    yep. I don’t have the 7d btw. I’ve just seen some the footage from it an it is amazing. It uses memory cards also. If you get it, you should consider getting an anamorphic lens. That’ll create a look similar to the transformers movies.

    thx for your help! I have the JVC now and there is no DOF really and I’ve been wanting to buy a DSLR saw the 7D and then saw the T1i. Then T1i is in my budget but I would have to save up for the 7D for quit a while. Still trying to figure out if the difference in quality is worth the money. thx again.
17. sonicballer8888 says on: 30 December 2009 at 6:28 pm

    canon 7d is probably the best hd camcorder you could buy. The quality is just amazing. You can ad lenses without needing any 35mm adapters. And the bokeh looks so much better than with an adapter anyway with the 7d.

    I guess it’s all a matter of Points of View then.

    Love your videos!! Both entertaining and educational! I was wondering what your thoughts were on the JVC Everio GZ-HD7 camera also the Cannon T1i & Cannon 7D? What do you think is the best low budget camera for shooting in low light. and what’s you thoughts on a 35mm adaptor for my hd camera? Thx!!

    Bro your show keeps getting better…^^ you guys deserv a tv show…i mean, pure funny entertainment…and still it has a great education value… so i take my hat in respect

    and by the way i know you guys dont do requests from here, but there is a scene that is clichet from the horror movies that i would love to see, when the corridor starts to go really far, and the front shot starts to zoom in, i dont remember an exemple, but it always come up with a shock moment ^^

    haha. These are low-budget cameras for film makers. Not low budget cams for home video. Your average Pro HD cam starts at a price tag of around $5,000 and up. The one I normally use is $8,000. So… These are very low budget.

    This show made things easier for my Mom for X-Mas. Thanks!!
23. iamnotahamster says on: 30 December 2009 at 10:50 pm

    Absolutely Amazing! You actually manage to say “Low Budget” and mention $400 to $900 cameras all in the same show.

    “low budget” those ain’t
