Can Someone Help Me please
Hello, Im going to film some athletes sports games, and I trying to find a proffesional camera that has perfessional picture qualtiy, like the quality that you see on ESPN highlights are close to that. I dont have alot of money so Im trying to get something professional yet affordable, that can be hooked up to my computer for editng and cutting. I was told that I would also need computer software so I could actually edit the Video's on my computer. The editor at my church told me about a software called Vegas Video's that cost about 400 dollars, he said it was good for editing video's. He also told me about a camera that canon makes thats about 600 bucks, that has a USB connection. I am looking for alot of input from anyone who knows anything about good quality filming and editng sports and any other special events. I will gretly appreciate your feedback.
Thank you, Godbless! |

What?
Sorry dude, but $1,000 is soft change in the video market. You want ESPN quality picture? Here's the price breakdown:
Camera: Digibeta or DVCPRO50: $30,000-50,000 Tripod: $2,000 Computer: > $5,000 __________________________________________ = > $37,000 Now if you can settle for lesser quality, I would not do any work with something less than the cost of a 3CCD camera: > $1,000. |

Well you don't need DIGIbeta to have broadcast quality, but you definately need more then 1000 dollar...
A good 3CCD camera could do, I think an XL2 maybe... (from the SD flavours) |
