ok i'll wait haha

and also the money could be used for the camera and accessories combined, like if a camera was only $600 i could spend the rest on accessories like lights? i guess? im kinda new to this hah

I'd get one of those Panasonic GS-500's, a baby death fisheye (century optics .3 37mm fisheye), and possibly a light (a bescor) if you think your gonna use it. That way you'll have 3ccds and a fisheye. You can make a handle for it to. You'll pretty much have a really legit low end 3ccd camera if you get all that.

edit: thats all under like $800 new i think. And i know if you go on Skate Perception people are gonna be like oh get a TRV900 or a VX1000, but fuck that shit man, that shit is over 10 years old man, don't waste your money, get something fresh.
