Making a movie, what digital camera should I use?
I want it to be digital so I can go straight from the camera to my editing software.
Also, what speed are films recorded?
I want this to look like a genuine movie that you would go to theatres to see.
Thank you ahead of time.
Welcome to the world of DV, my friend.
If you are looking to spend nearly nothing, there are some mid range consumer grade cameras such as the Canon ZR series. The picture isn't too bad, nothing spectacular, but depending on the exact model, you can get some okay manual features that a professional would need at a dirt cheap price. They are in the $300-$600 range I think.
Next, you can go to a higher-end consumer camera, such as the Panasonic GS series. These have 3 ccd chips, which means that you are going to have really good color quality. Again, the exact features like manual focus and white balance depend on your exact camera. These run anywhere from $700-$1200 I think.
Even higher is an HD camcorder. The Sony HDR-SR1 or the Panasonic HDC-SD1 are examples of these. The HDC-SD1 even has 3 ccd's. These cameras deliver great picture and resolution, but the price range can be anywhere from $850-$1500, depending on where you get it.
Stepping up into the professional grade, you can buy something like a Sony DSR-PD170. They are Standard definition. But, they will deliver the features and manual controls you need like dual XLR inputs with level adjustment, a focus ring, white balance, iris, gain, apeture, all that good stuff, as well as 3 ccd's. There are many other camcorders like this, like the Canon GL2, for instance. Once again, it all depends on the model type. These can run anywhere from $2000-$5000.
If you really want the "film look", though, you need the Panasonic AG-DVX100. It shoots in a 24fps mode, which is similar to what you see on the big screen. I've seen sample footage of this from amateur videographers, and it looks like very professional, cinema quality stuff. B&H Photo is selling this for $2800, so if you don't mind having less money in your wallet, this would be the way to go IMO.
It all depends on how much you want to spend. What you put in is what you get out. If you plan on making youtube videos, the 1ccd's will do you good. If you plan on making more serious stuff, like maybe amateur documentaries or something, then you would want to bump up to the 3 ccd consumer cameras or one of the professional camcorders I mentioned. And if you don't mind spending a little extra now, just buy one of the HD cameras and you'll be ready for the future when everything turns HD.
Hope that helps.
