Curious if it would be worth spending more for the gh over the g7 for narrative video? Can get the g7 for less so I'm wondering if the iq wont be near as good when compared to the gh4 or 5?

I have a tascam dr60d and want a mic for it. Any recommendations that aren't too expensive? Would love something fairly versatile that I could get away with both indoors and outdoors if possible. Another question I have , would it be better to get a less expensive mic and opt for a mixer to go...

Right now I only have the original m camera and some Canon lenses. Wondering what a decent upgrade would be without breaking the bank too much? The m3 looks pretty good but still seems a little behind some of brands offerings for the money. Is the m3 enough of an upgrade for video or should I...

Planning a movie shoot (early stage) and some of the shooting will be outside where there's no power. Have been researching generators but curious what others have used. The daytime shoots will be easy but the outdoor night shoots will be harder. Looking for any suggestions on outdoor night...

Curious which mic(s) everyone is getting decent results with on the tascam dr60d? I have a rode ntg2 which does well but an upgraded mic should do even better.

Kind of debating between the 3300 and the 5300. Price wise the 3300 would be better but arent the 3300 and 5300 almost identical in terms of image quality? Right now all I have is a canon with a few lenses. I looked into one of the newer more recent canons but the price was more than I want to pay.

Planning a narrative feature with friends and a few other people. Everything is in order except the camera aspect. I had some equipment stolen and also sold some stuff to get better sound stuff. The camera I have left is an eos m with a 22mm. I'm debating on whether I should get more lenses...

Downsizing so I can buy some more camera equipment. I have both the 35mm 1.8 and the 50mm 1.8 My thoughts are to keep the 35 and sell the 50 since the 35 seems more versatile. Curious what others opinions are. Im pretty much strictly video and very rarely take a photo. If you had to keep one or...

Curious how different the g6 is to something like the gh2/gh3? Right now Im a canon t3i user and may buy a canon camcorder from a friend but Ive been itching to get a panasonic. Is the g6 as good as the gh2 was? I regret selling the gh1 that I had even though it was outdated.

A friend will give me a pretty good deal on his xa20. Would this be a better option for making movies when compared to the t3i Im using now? I have access to a 50mm and a wide for the t3i. Havent tested them just been using the 18-55 kit. I enjoy the t3i but wondering if the xa20 will be better...

Working on a short and hopefully turning into a feature. Have everything lined up except for lights. With $200 to spend is it possible to at least cover the basics? I can wait and save more but im ready to shoot. It will be outdoor and indoor scenes. I have a good dp onboard(good friend) but all...

Will be doing my first shoot with no electricity available. Curious what you all use like generators etc? Im so used to just plugging in a wall socket.

Will be doing a shoot soon that will be using an ngt2 for outdoors. Is there a decent hyper for indoors with a similar price as the ntg2? Is something like one of the inexpensive avantone even worth looking at? Looks like it comes with an omni, car, and hyper cap. Also I have an excellent boom...

Right now I have a tascam 40 and a friend has a zoom h4. Both have worked well for film making but I'm ready to go to the next level and get better sound. Would something like an h6 fit the bill or is that not much of an improvement? I'm def looking to get into better pre's without breaking the...

Well the wife is having a baby so I sold most of what I had to stock up on extra money just in case. I did keep the 5200 with the 35mm lens. What other lenses should I get since the wife says I can spend a little now that we have what we need saved up. Slowly gearing up to do a feature hopefully...
