Starter Camera setup

[ChrisFleugel]

Lookin for a pretty decent camera, mostly for filming im not reallly sure what to get.Im looking for a camcorder that can do the basics. Im only wanting to spend upwards of 300 (with lens and handle)

Any suggestions?

I know this thread's over a month old but whatever ok what i used to film with before i got my t3i is: jvc everio DO NOT GET THE INTERNAL MEMORY ONES THEY BREAK get the ones that only take sd cards. Ok for lens go with an opteka baby death lens best fisheye for camcorders (besides like the mk's and death lenses for the vx) and for the handle get an opteka x-grip. I had this exact camera setup ^ from like 6th grade- my sophmore year when i upgraded ok and a tip while filming with a fisheye you can get close BUT dont cut heads it makes your stuff look terrible if you get knees down. Yeah and have fun, filming shouldnt be a chore.

If you're not too serious about filming and just wanna capture clips or just wanna have a fisheye instead of filming on an iPhone or whatever, get a Flip and one of the magnetic fisheyes. That's what we do all our filming on. This whole edit was filmed on it, if it gives you any idea.
