Re: Just Setting Up

I quickly found out when I first set up that a camera and editing system are only the beginning. You'll need a decent mic set-up - preferably shotgun and radio, lights, although we can hire a 3x redhead set up here in the UK for well under the equivalent of 100 bucks a day, and not forgetting a GOOD tripod - either Vinten or Manfrotto.
As for the camera, my Canon XH-A1 shoots in both SD and HDV, has a better lens than the Z1 and feels more robust too. It took a couple of knocks on the last shoot and is still working!
Editing wise, go with Apple. Can't understand why anyone in their right mind would trust professional production work to a PC!
As the last guy said, there's plenty of good kit on the 2nd hand market, so get yourself on ebay and see what you can find.
Happy hunting and good luck!
