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?
uhhhh maybe like 300 at the max..... im a student...
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 owned a nikon coolpix, thats it.
2) What gear, if any, do you currently have? (tripod, old camera lenses, mics, etc)
old tripod
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)
skiing photoography, and other stuff too i guess
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?
maybe but mostly just me
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)
ummmm im looking for a photography camera not a video camera
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.
HP pavilion g4 250 Gb hard drive, 4 gigs of RAM, 1.90 Ghz processor...... maybe upgrading to 8 gigs of RAM in the future.
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)
ummmmm not doin videos.
Im just looking for a cheaper but still good camera to start photography on thanks for helping!!!
