| Cameras |
| This is a new section that will be developing
over the next several months. First of all, we are only going to talk about
3 chip cameras that are considered "professional". In terms of
dollars, the range will be $2000 and up. These cameras generally
provide either sound meters and XLR connectors or can be retrofitted with
them. These cameras also allow for the attachment of a wide angle lens and a
polarized filter. These two items are must have's for the professional
videographer. Be sure to look at Audio and Lights sections
- cause it is these three (Camera, Audio, and Lights) that will make your
videos shine (not to mention imagination, creativity, and editing
skills).

DVCam vs miniDV- DVCAM does not have a higher bit rate than standard DV,
infact it has exactly the same bit rate, and uses exactly the same codec (DV25).
Also, more bits does NOT mean better quality. Perhaps within a single codec it
does (generally but still not always), but it certainly does not always hold
true when comparing different codecs. |

They run the gament - but a good one for a videographer will
run you from $500 to $1000 - and a Pro needs a good one.. |

Now here is an open field - from type to price. A camera is attached to
a steadicam and movement is effected by the camera person physically walking or
running or moving in some direction. What the steadicam does is smooths out any
camera jerking - hopefully. |
