After selling my t2i with all of its paraphernalia (battery grip, a couple lenses, extra battries) I am looking at approximately $ 2000
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 used my T2i extensively and know SLR photography very well.
2) What gear, if any, do you currently have? (tripod, old camera lenses, mics, etc)
- Shitty $ 100 Tripod
- kit lens,
- canon 10-22mm 3.5-5.6,
- canon 50mm 1.4,
- Glidecam 2000hd.
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)
I am filming and producing a movie this year with a few people so ease of workflow is important (no tapes and shit)
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?
Not important, but it would help.
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)
I shoot freehand 80% of the time when I am filming skiing so ergonomics is one of the main reasons I am switching.
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.
macbook pro.
7) What program do you currently edit on? How familiar are you with it (1- just learning; 10- I can make tutorials and know the keyboard layout)
FCP, 8.
