Well I will answer this honestly.
There are a couple pro-sumer level camara's that I think are outstanding.
I think everyone knows about the SONY FX.
Thats a great CAM, however I elected to use a different CAM early on which was one of the first generation CAM's for HD.
That would be the JVC GR HD1.
Now before anyone decides to get into content, give it a serious thought.
It is not all that it is cracked up to be. From shooting to encoding to capturing, the hardware alone will cost ya few bucks and figuring out the transport's and compatibilities is not easy.
Let alone editing, audio, Make up, lighting, schedualing, dealing with model drama, so on and so forth...
The reward is great though if you have an urge to be creative, unfortunatly the demand for content is not all that it is cracked up to be. There is a ton of content out these days. ALOT of it and if you think busting out getting a camara and going the full length I hate to shatter your dreams.
Ya got alot of work ahead of ya and you goto love doing it.
I like doing it, to me it is better than designing. I been a graphic designer for 12 years and I desperatly needed a career change. Something different and that is a challenge.
I am not the best business man I will admit that but if you are decent at business you are probably better off utilizing that then getting into this line of work.
