Replying to Need help deciding on a camera
I really hate to make this thread but, here goes

2) What gear, if any, do you currently have? None
4) What are you planning to shoot and how do you want to use your camera? I plan on filming skiing,scooter,skateboard and longboard eedits
5) Do you want a camera that you can hand to your friends, that could or could not have film experience, and let them shoot you? or will you be doing all the filming? Preferably a camera that i can hand to my friends but i still want all those extra features.
6) When filming skiing, how do you tend to shoot? Follow cams and sometimes tripods.
7) What computer do you currently have/use to edit (if not currently editing, what would you most likely use)? If you can provide specifics, such as hard drive space, RAM, processor size, that would be great. Windows 7 64 bit
