(ie, back-up harddrives, faster computer, better camera, etc).  Here is a list of what I have so far...</p> <p>Canon t2i, Sigma 28mm 1.4, Tamron 10-24mm 3.5-4.5, Neewer viewfinder, Manfrotto 561BHDV-1 monopod, a couple 16gb class 10 cards, homemade steadicam &amp; slider, 3y/o 24in iMac, 1y/0 15in Macbook Pro (i7 dualcore w/ 8gb ram), using FCPX &amp; Motion 5, LaCie 1TB external HD, another 500gb for Timemachine, and probably some small things I forgot to mention, but that's the big stuff.</p> <p>So should I look at investing in a Drobo for storage, a Canon 5D MkII, a 8-12core Mac Pro (preowned), more memory cards, Zoom H4N, wireless lavs, etc? How do you suggest I prioritize?  I will be shooting events (weddings and other events, as well as real estate property tours).  Any help would be very much appreciated!  </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/need-your-vote-guys-10000-best-buy-video-contest#post-68398 Sat, 04 Jun 2011 17:23:58 +0000 mgvideographer 68398@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hello All,</p> <p>I've recently become one of the top 5 semi-finalists in the Best Buy video contest for the $10,000 gift card.</p> <p>It's now up to you guys to help me win.

If so, isnt it worthier to buy an HF100 + a 16GB (or Larger) Memory card??</p> <p>And if you guys know any other (not-so-expensive) camcorder (like under $1,000), please, help me with the search  :)</p> <p>Thanks for all the help!</p> <p>Caio</p> <p>P.S: The HV30 is a ´Prosumer´ Camcorder right?? If so, I would like to buy an prosumer camcorder (Yes!

I currently have an old Sony Hi-8 camera that does not do well with green-screen effects and video looks just plain bad.</p> <p>There were a few cameras I was looking at, and was trying to stay around $1000. I met a guy at the local political caucus that has a used Canon XL-1 and is asking $1200. I was also looking at the Sony HDR-HC7 ($970), the Panasonic PV-GS500 ($700) and the JVC GZ-HD7 ($1000). I know there's some variety there.</p> <p>I'm not sure I need HD - I don't currently have a HDTV, nor computer equipment. I do use Vegas Movie Studio Platinum v7, so it is able to edit HD video, though my computer is near the minimum requirements that Sony recommends for editing HD content.</p> <p>I thought that getting a 3CCD camera would help on the green-screen effects and picture quality in general, but have also read decent reviews on the Sony camera. Is a 3CCD camera that important - or will the HD quality suffice?</p> <p>I'm not picky about the hard drive vs. tape issue. I like the idea of the focus ring on the JVC and XL-1 cameras and some manual controls were high on my list of requirements. I don't want to spend $1000 and then find out I picked the wrong camera - if you know what I mean. I also wanted to get a camera with mic and headphone jacks and other features that the 'pro' cameras have. Should I be looking at different models altogether?</p> <p>Ease of use for the rest of the family is somewhat of a concern, though rather low on the list.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/buy-cheap-used-handycams#post-34277 Mon, 24 Dec 2007 17:04:20 +0000 tcxentertainment 34277@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I'D LIKE TO CONTACT SOMEONE WHO GETS USED CAMCORDERS FOR SALE ON A REGULAR BASIS.</p> <p>I NEED THEM WORKING AND AT CHEAP PRICES 'CAUSE I'M PLANNING TO RESELL 'EM.</p> <p>STARTING FROM HI-8 TO DVD-R, NOT PROS (YET).</p> <p>CONTACT ME AND, IF YOU'RE SERIOUS MAKING BUSINESS, I'LL BUY 'EM FROM YOU QUITE OFTEN.</p> <p>PLEASE SPECIFY HOW YOU GET THEM.</p> <p>I NEED THEM WITH AN ADAPTER AND A BATTERY EACH.</p> <p>DOESN'T MATTER IF THEY'VE BEEN REPAIRED AS LONG AS THEY'RE WORKING.</p> <p>PS.
