What Camera Equipment Do you use?
 

Hi.

I'm going to enroll into a photography course with the idea of shooting and filming all my own content. I've been working with other programs for a while, and would like to "go it alone!"

I was wondering what types of camera's and camcorders you are using to produce your content. If you have links to places where I can buy the equipment, please let me know.

Nikon D80 with an Olympus E10 backup.

canon 20d asst lens and flashes and a panny dvx100a

Any suggestions for HiDef Video recording?

Canon EOS 20D, some Canon Ultrasonic lenses and misc. accessories for still photos and Sony FX-1 for high-definition video. (Also own a Canon XL1 and Sony VX-2100 videocameras)

Since your planning on following a course .. why don't you start by researching what you want based on your final needs. There are many sites out there that can help you understand specs. At least this way you'll be prepared when you start your course .. rather then finding the easy way out by asking people that have spent the time to learn

my 2 cents

canon 30D . non other needed

:thumbsup

Canon 1D Mark IIn
Canon 5D
Canon XH A1 (HD Video)

Lenses... too many.

have you used the XH A1 yet? I'm very curious abou this camera but can't find out for a rental in the city

Of course, I love it. Very good camera, great mic too, but you can get an external one for $100 and make the sound really kick ass.

Canon 1Ds, assorted L lenses (15mm-300mm)
Upgrading to the 1Ds Mk II later this year and also buying the Hasselblad 503CWD (digital medium format)

Canon GL2 (formerly used an XL2 but it was a heavy bastard)

Working up toward a Panasonic HVX200

when only the best will do

OK does that mean that we can no longer post threads about finding specific sponsors too? Or shall we just find out ourselves??

My 2 Cents

Stills: Sony DSC-r1

Video: Sony HDR-fx1


Thank you for your time.

I use Cannon EOS-1D MarK III

About time it came out.

For photo we use a Nikon D200 and have a Nikon D70s as back up. For video we have two JVC GY-HD200 Awesome camera for sure. :D

I use my dick to wind the camera on. That way I can slowly and smoothly adjust the height.

haha. I make myself laugh.

Asking what camera others here on GFY use *IS* part of doing research. Often many cam review sites are sponsored or paid by manufacturers to give slanted opinions and ratings (not all, but some).

Back in the 90s when we started out, I paid attention to what colleagues were using. Whenever I saw high-quality image production, I'd ask questions and listen to what gear they were using. And although I did some independent research myself at various camera shops, a large part of our purchase decision was based on colleagues' advice.

Buying expensive, hi-end camera gear shouldn't be trial-and-error. Its not "the easy way out" asking others what they use.

Its good business sense.

I own and use a Sony DCR-DVD405 , you can buy in fact anything else from here. :thumbsup

Canon 5D and Sony FX1
Back-up... Canon 5D and Sony FX1,acctually has 4 FX1's :)

We have canon EOS 20d and Canon EOS 30d plus couple lenses Canon EF 24-70mm f/2,8 L USM and 70-200mm f/2,8 L IS

I don't do anything fancy but I have a Canon Powershot G7.

For stills, Cannon 20D, Speedotron brown for pops ( blacks lines are over rated) and Chimara flips.
For Video, 6 tripods and 6 whatever cams are on sale at cuircut city. (without garentees):2 cents::pimp

Also answer to your third Q is

http://www.bhphotovideo.com

Need to know what you want though, they are Hasidic Jews and don't play games. Call them for their free 300+ page catalog. It's an playgound. Good research will keep you on the phone longer. Good luck.:thumbsup

that's what i'm talking about....old school baby:thumbsup

the 1.3 mpx on my mobile and sometimes a h3.
