Alright, BH have a good price, it interest me, they have the " don't pay for 90 days " offer that would help me. I read some poeple saying they prefered the HV20 over the HV30 I saw the HV30 at Circuit City and it looked quite nice. So eBay might be risky you think ? Anyways, I really can't wait to have it in my hands and explore with it and possibly make a short with it. Thanks ;)

I want to buy a Canon HV20 . I found some pretty cheap one on eBay but I'm scared of scams. Anyone bought there ? I went to Circuit City and they don't have them, only the HV30 and that one is too expensive for me right now. 600 $ seem to be the lower price I've found. Just want to be shure if it's safe

Saw it yesterday on real 3D, it was fantastic. I was captivated the whole movie :P

Thanks for your answers, very helpful. Now I found this camera, Sony HDR-FX1 HDV 1080i. Is it a good camcorder for a beginner ? I'm still confused, about buying a HDV ( wich seem cheaper, not the camcorder but shooting... ) or a 16mm ( wich seem more expensive, mostly if my first rolls gonna be to experiement and test the camera. What do you think ? :unsure: Thank again for the help. ;)

Yeah, that's what I'll probably do. Robert Rodriguez kinda got me intersted in Digital... but the price are insane for a beginner. Anyways I appreciate all the help. B) Can't wait to film

I will really have to give a try to the three of them. They all seem interesting. But I think I will just start with a good super 8 then I'll see, maybe try 16mm and when I will have enough money maybe get myself a good digital. I'm not gonna go to any film schools so I will just have to learn by myself. This place is a good place to learn too. Nice community ;) Any suggestions and help is very appreciated Thanks B) ... Should I sell my Canon 514XL-S and get a better one ?

Thanks guys for the help and informations. I might go for a good Super 8. BEAULIEU 4008 ZMII and CANON 814 XL-S interest me. If I had more money I would probably try a 16mm. Anyways I can't wait to start shooting :rolleyes:

And how much money could cost me a good starting HDV camera ? For some reason I seem to be more interested in films... I just want to cheapest one, so I can learn without ruining myself and still have good quality. I guess I will just have to experiment, some will say go with super8 some will say 16mm and other digital.

Thank you for your help. So I should go with the Bolex H16 Reflex ? Can anyone tell me if this one look good. I can afford the camera but I have no idea how much films and process would cost. Now I'm gonna try to sell my Canon514XLS ;)

I read it's better to start with a Super 8 then experiment 16mmm. I would still be interested in trying a 16mm first. But here I found some camera I would like to have, if I could have some comments... And cameras suggestion would be appreciated too, I would need something under 200$ or little bit more. Super 8 Beaulieu 4008 ZM 4 Canon 1014 XL-S 1014XLS Is that a good one ? NIZO 6080 16mm Bolex Paillard H-16 Paillard Bolex H 16 Reflex Greatly interested in that one... So is it a bad idea to start with a 16mm ? I have low budget... Thanks

Hi, I have this intense desire to make movies. I got a Canon Canon 514XL-S asa gift, but still didn't had the chance to shoot nothing with it... Is it a good camera to make a short movie ? What would be the best ? Super-8, 16mm or Digital ? Being a great fan of Robert Rodriguez, he seem to say that Digital is faster and look great. I also saw some really nice and cheap Bolex Paillard H-16, would it be good ? Sorry for all the questions... :P
