Cameras and editing programs......

[PirateManSkier]

i've been looking into the canon gl2. what do you guys film with? and what editing program do you use?

 

[BurgRider]

on windows premier pro version 2 or whatever the new one is and than on a mac final cut for sure. The gl2 is a sick camera also

 

[denver11]

Yeah I was wondering the same. My friends and I want to all pitch in and get a decent camera. What would you guys suggest that is a decent price?

 

[PirateManSkier]

if you got the money. get a Canon gl2.

 

[akerbacker]

ya gl2's are really nice, u can usually get an alright price on ebay.

 

[Snowcase]

Have you ever owned a video camera before? If not I suggest getting something cheaper. Also for the editing program start with something simple. For the guy who said windows premier pro I think you have Windows Movie Maker and Adobe Premier Pro confused. One is $900 the other is free.

 

[jizack]

you and all your friends pitching in to buy a 2000 dollar camera? sounds like a pretty fucking dumb idea to me.

 

[john7elway]

sony handy cam and windows movie maker! I got a steal on WMM 30 bucks on ebay!!!

 

[Liam.]

do u have a mac...if so why not just use imovie and if u have a pc then why did u buy wmm for 30 dollars when it comes with it

 

[leckett1]

if youve new to making videos and dont know the first thing about cameras i really dont recommend you buy a gl2...

 

[john7elway]

I have pc, IT COMES WITH IT WHAT!?!?!?!

 

[leckett1]

it comes with windows xp kids. if you have 2000 or below it wont have it

 

[john7elway]

Oh that explains it, im running windows 95.

 

[Geoff.]

why is that dumb?

 

[leckett1]

cause whos gona keep it? trust me thats going to be trouble

 

[[~_~]]

My GL2 is for sale, with everything it came with originally plus some more. PM me for details.

screen grabs (compressed so real quality is much better):

 

[Geoff.]
