Have you ever owned a video camera before? If not I suggest getting something cheaper. Also for the editing program start with something simple. For the guy who said windows premier pro I think you have Windows Movie Maker and Adobe Premier Pro confused. One is $900 the other is free.

you and all your friends pitching in to buy a 2000 dollar camera? sounds like a pretty fucking dumb idea to me.
