Yeah, RED's probably the best route if you are just starting out, simple camera to use, easy workflow, and the auto controls are great.

Word, and if he shoots a lot the video files are going to be low profile enough to easily fit on his Mac and leave tons of space! Not to mention that he will have no computer power issues when working with them.

I feel like I'm looking in the wrong place.

Are you guys talking about the $17,500 RED One camera?

yeah... REDs are pro shit, starting at 17500, not to mention no body or lenses, but yeah you cant really go wrong with a canon or sony, they have some mid priced units with 1080p

I heard the new RED camera is going to be soo baller. But whatever you do get the prime lens set, so much awesomeness for such a little price.

Sorry guys, I'm new to this forum.

I thought the Panasonic GH1 was a good camera? Anyways, sorry to keep persisting but I really do want to know where these nicely priced RED camera's are, or am I just missing the sarcasm in this whole thread?

Yeah. But really, I'd say try 16mm or a HVX. They are both good price point cams, and the HVX uses cheap memory cards.

In all seriousness buy a HVX200 and don't forget a Letus Extreme. Or buy a VX1000 and a death lens and only film skateboarding. You'll be the coolest kid ever.

Yeah, I forgot that. The letus will be the simplest way to get great looking footage. Just throw it on, put the cam on auto, and then you're set. Don't mess with complicated wide angles and fisheyes.
