1) What is your budget? How much money can you spend right away, and do you think you can get more money to invest in the future? --- 250-350 and yes.
2) What experience do you already have with cameras? Have you ever even used one before? Have you helped your friend out with his camera? Have you owned your own? --- I have owned a camera and im really looking to into my inter artisticness.
2) What gear, if any, do you currently have? (tripod, old camera lenses, mics, etc) --- nothing N/A
4) What are you planning to shoot and how do you want to use your camera? Are you going to use this with the sole purpose of shooting skiing? or do you think you might try other stuff as well (movies, documentaries, short films, etc) --- The main purpose is for skiing, but maybe i will use it in the summer.
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? --- YES! im not looking for something to complex.
6) When filming skiing, how do you tend to shoot? (follow cams, leave it on record on a tripod and hike, film from a tripod, etc) --- follow cam, tripod and have others film.
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. ---
If you have a camera in mind that fit those specs, PLEASE post it here.
thanks for any help.
