Replying to So I have $1300

So i have $1300 that I'm looking to spend on camera gear for filming of skiing this year, and I just used the Media and Arts Directory to make this little thread....please let me know what type of camera I'm looking at ~ I'd be so stoked if you could

My budget at the moment is at most 1300, but not exactly trying to go there right away, but can spend $500 now and in the next two weeks I'll be close to my budgeted amount.

I have experience filming with Nikon D3100, T2i, and T3i, but only have owned a GoPro, Minolta, and other random cameras I can't think of.

I own 0 gear at the moment.

Planning on shooting skiing (obviously), take some pictures here and there, but definitely would think about getting involved in movies, documentaries, short films, etc...

Looking to be able to hand the camera around to friends, that could or could not have film experience, and let them shoot me cause I'm not looking to do all of the filming.

Literally any way to get the shot of myself skiing is the way that I tend to shoot so (follow cams, leave it on record on a tripod and hike, film from a tripod, etc)

Really don't know computers well but at the moment I just have a typical PC.

Annnnd just learning to edit on final cut but not really not that familiar with it yet so im at about a 5 (1- just learning; 10- I can make tutorials and know the keyboard layout)
