In my experience, I've done both and there were pro's and con's with either. These days with gear being truly affordable, there is an incentive to purchase equipment and accessories outright. However, there are unseen costs that come with both purchasing and renting gear. Here's a vid from Caleb Pike that gives a solid analysis of this very important question.... <a href="http://vimeo.com/36359388">Owning Gear</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/calebpike">Caleb Pike</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.

Several professors have mentioned that you can make gear for much cheaper than you'd buy it for. Aside from the average zip cord, what else are common self-made items? Is there a good book out there that tackles this stuff? I'm having trouble finding one. Thanks! krazykid035 on "Need entry level but decent HD camcorder" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/need-entry-level-but-decent-hd-camcorder#post-45633 Wed, 08 Apr 2009 13:29:14 +0000 krazykid035 45633@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ Hello everyone, I am new to this technology so to get right down to it... We are wanting to purchase an HD video camera that is going to be used for taking video of live products such as commercial embroidery machines, etc. We are also going to need to be able to video a person being interviewed and NEED to be able to integrate video from a PC screen into the video. I have seen cameras that have a cable that go right into the pc to capture the video. Another requirement would be the ability to have interchangable lens and remote microphone. We want that professional "movie" quality look. The output will be split between web video and tv screens at trade shows. We are looking for entry level with some room to grow. If someone could recommend Cameras, that would be great. We are hoping to stay in the $2,000 price range if possible. As an added bonus, if you would like to recommend any lighting and microphones or any other equipment that we would need, it would be greatly appreciated.

Ooooh. Aaaah. Iâ€™ll run a newly created department in our town. Hereâ€™s the cool bit: Grants have been secured and the money HAS to be spent in order to get more funding in the future. Though Iâ€™m not offering up any work right now (sorry), I would be ever grateful for your input on vendor recommendations. Who else would you recommend as a reliable, full-service vendor beside B+H Photo? (I've done business with them since the early 1990's...mostly out of habit.) <img src="http://dvcreators.net/discuss/images/misc/progress.gif" /> Thanks! <a href="http://dvcreators.net/discuss/editpost.php?do=editpost&p=65254"><img src="http://dvcreators.net/discuss/images/dvc_buttons/edit.gif" alt="Edit/Delete Message" /></a>
