  1. I have some questions about cameras in general. The first is about ccd. I have noticed differnt cameras have different sizes such as 1/4" and 1/3" is that going to make much of a difference? What is the difference between CMOS and CCD please explain in easy to understand terms. Should I be buying a high def camera? Does high def make that much difference? Do most cameras have interchangables lenses like on a slr camera? Thanks again for helping me since I am new to this and really want to be informed before I drop that big of a chunk of $$ on a camera. I really want to make documentaries more than feature films. Cathy
  2. Hi David, Thanks for your input it's very helpful. I actually downloaded the free version of Avid. I haven't installed it yet but i guess they are discontinuing the free version but at least I can try it out. I have checked the list and made a lsit of both the movies and books listed. I'll slowly try to buy a few more books so I don't over extend my $$$ :-) Cathy
  3. Thank you both for your replies. Today I went a bought two books. The first from the list on this website. Cinematography by Kris Malkiewicz. And the second called Digital Filmmaking 101 second edition. I have some editing software. I have been using Pinnacle Studio which I like and I also have Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platnium, which I have not really used much yet. Thanks again Cathy
  4. Hi, I am new to filmmaking and have a few questions about cameras. I want to get a Canon GL2. My first question is since it is a mini dv how do I get the finished product onto my computer to edit it? Do I need special equipment to do the editing? About how much do those tapes cost? and are they reusable? Could you also recommend some other cameras which are pretty good. I am planning on spending $2,000-$3,000. I would like input from others before I make my final decsion. I am researching now. I have a jvc hard disk consumer camcorder now that I just plug in the usb. This is an ok camera to work with but I do want to do professional quality films. Thank you Cathy
