Replying to Hai Guiz! What Camera?

Alright so I have a gopro now and am trying to expand my filming capabilities with the purchase of a new camera.

Budget - 1500 dollars

Experience - Fairly experienced with photo cameras but just point and shoot other friends video cameras.

Gear - I have four old prime camera lenses (will not help much with a video camera)

I am planning on shooting mostly skiing and short films.

I am planning on filming skiing mostly from a tripod and some follow cams.

Right now I edit with vegas pro 9 and am probably at about a 6 with it.

I would consider a DSLR but if I wanted to let my friends film me I am worried that they might not be able to.

Hopefully this is enough information, I just followed 1337s thread.

Thankyou
