Mike, good stuff. v. informative. Two things on my mind..
which I will check but thought I should mention anyway..
1. do the cameras have remote control (i won’t be employing a camera man yet!) and
2. any recommendations on teleprompters.. i know nothing about them…but think that I’ll probably want to use one
Thanks & All the best,
David

Since this video was first made, do you have any new suggestions for camcorders under $1,000? Thanks.

Rodney

Hello Rodney,
I would recommend any of the Canon HF Series. They are great cameras and best of all they have external microphone jacks.

Hey Mike,

I just purchased my first camera, I looked around everyhere and finally found one that has some nice goodies on it.

- FULL HD 1080p 12MP HDMI DIGITAL VIDEO CAMERA CAMCORDER

- 1920×1080p H.264, Optical Zoom, 3″ Touch LCD, FREE 16GB Card & Case.

It looks like these models don’t have the 3CCD any more but a “Image Sensor” of 5-12mp. (What’s your take on this)

Price was $339 (AUD) – (Approx $300 USD)

Should be arriving this monday..so will let you know how it goes.

Also picked me up a studio mic RODE with studio arm, like on one of your other videos..man that is sweet..it puts out the best sound.

Thanks

Carl

Hi Mike,
I now read all 145 existing comments and still better than the original video is the fact that you patiently answer questions and give a lot of reasonable advice! Thanks for this great service.

Thanks for the great video mike.

I wish I had seen this before my recent camera purchase. At least I will get it right this time around.

Three years ago I purchased a Panasonic 3ccd camera like the one you showed and it has been a work horse for me. I am so glad to see that you agree and that I really did make the best purchase (in my price range) at the time. Thank you so much for you time and info.

hi mike,
excellent video. speedy, informative and never boring! :0) i shoot with a CanonHV30 and used the Sennheiser wireless clip-on mics last weekend with great results. a small bit of radio interference at one point but overall the sound was awesome and MADE the video.
thanks also for demonstrating the sennheiser adaptor that turns any handheld mic into a wireless mic. awesome info.
