Replying to CAMERA HELP! Snowboard/Ski filming and more
Well I am going to college next year in slat lake city (Westminster) and am not focusing on film but am taking classes and wanting to MAYBE pursue a film career. I am heavily into filming snowboard/ski/skateboard videos and action sports in general, so that's a main focus but i also aspire to make some short film, maybe some sort of documentary and maybe music videos etc. I was previously using a t3i with a Rokinon 8mm fisheye but I'm looking to move into prosumer/professional camcorder. My budget would be $2500 max and I'm not sure if I should do the camcorder or the dslr. The 3ccd sensor is a tradition for skating and snowboarding but I don't want and DV tapes, and I know p2's are expensive and I don't think there are any p2 models that run 1080/60p which is kind of a deal breaker for me (should it be?). I've been mainly looking at the ag ac130a and 90a (160a if even possible) but I've also considered the ag hmc150, hvx200a, ag hpx170, JVC hm100 or 600, hcx-1000 (if possible), hxr nx3, pxwx70, and finally hxr nx70u. I need something that I can fit my rode stereo mic on (with or without Xlr adapter), and something that looks really good with a fisheye. PLEASEEE help, I need some serious professional opinions here! Thanks so much to who ever helps!!
