Any recomindations, my birthday is coming up here soon. I love filming and photography. But im looking for a filming type of camera. So It need to have a handle and fisheye/widelens. Price doesnt really matter, just nothing over 1000. K thanks!

Oh and anytips on a good editing system!?

Hard disk drives suck. My old camera's HDD just died after like 2 hours.

 

[Matt]

^saw that lense in person and almost shit my pants.

 

[Mikey G]

WTF? IS that like a widescreen fisheye?

 

[parrish]

widescreen is just the aspect ratio, and that lens isnt really that great, doesent look much different from an mk2, and its like 2000$ more

 

[Matt]

It's way bigger than a MK2, but its the only good fisheye that fits on the HVX-200/HPX-170, because of how big their filters are/how wide the lenses are.

 

[parrish]

this is true

 

[Matt]

Here's my setup.

Panasonic hmc40
Opteka 52mm

+

Canon t2i
Rokinon Fisheye
Eazy Handle


Not pictured:
Manfrotto tripod (501hdv head, i forget the legs)
2 16gb cards
Audio-technica mic
Canon 50mm f/1.8
Canon 70-200mm f/4
Canon stock lens 18-55mm


Just sold the HMC though and ordered a 60d.

 

[Bear Grylls]

The handles on HMC's look cheap. idk why

 

[Matt]

They are. That's one of the main reasons that I got rid of it, I couldn't stand the handle. Its so small and flimsy, and felt like it was about to fall off the camera. The eazy handle on the other hand is perfect, and after using it for a few days, I can honestly say its worth the money.

 

[Mikey G]

3MOS? Whats the difference between that and 3ccd?

 

[Matt]

3MOS means it has 3 CMOS chips. Most HD cameras nowadays have 1 CMOS chip instead of CCD/3CCD because they cost less to make, use less battery etc. They're basically the same thing except CMOS can give a "jello" effect when panning the camera too fast, and 3CCD can give better colors/low light i believe.

 

[Mikey G]

Alright man. I was like WTF ARE THOSE?! I'm surprised how standard definition is failing to die at all. But with things like youtube and the laziness to change it to the HD thing every video it's expect. How much would a small, decent consumer HD camera be priced at?
