Hey Vital MTBans,
So first off, i am going to apologize for starting this thread because I am almost positive that this has been answered somewhere in the forum, but I figured it would be nice to get a direct response, and plus I'm at work slacking off and don't have the time to sift through the entire forum for the answer. I am an aspiring filmer for anything dirt related, MTB's, MX, desert racing, and 4x4, and have been filming with a modest, but definitely useful Sony video camera that set me back about $800. Its a great camera and I don't plan on getting rid of it, but in many instances, it lacks some functionality that I need the deeper I get into filming and learning about filming. I am finally building a clientele with a few desert race teams, and professional MTB and MX riders, who want team and self edits for their promotion needs. So its slowly but surely time for me to go from amateur filmer, to step up to semi professionalismland. Im looking to spend around $2000, at very very most $2500 on a new camera, and I am curious about all your opinions on a great camera in that price range that I can be semi rough with, and get some great footage etc. Ive already got gopros, handy cams blah blah, im talking about a good high quality professional cam. Thanks guys!
