Question by turturjr: What video camera should I get if I am an amateur filmmaker?
i just want a camera to make some short films with, nothing special. i’ll be editing them on imovie. i don’t want to spend a bunch of money…i just want something that works 🙂
thanks!
i’m not really sure what all i need. i’m not doing anything fancy…this is my first foray into filmmaking. and i don’t want to spend over $ 400. so when i say amateur, i REALLY mean amateur lol.

Start with a budget. What camcorders fit?
Do you need to be able to connect external mics?
Will you capture loud audio? If yes, you will need manual audio control.
Will you need good low light behavior? If yes, you will need big lenses and imaging chip…
Your question and requirements are to broad to make any useful suggestions…
