What Camera For Me?

Okay everyone, this is meant to add some humor on a dreary day.........

Hi everyone, I am looking for a camera to complement my audio gear. I normally run audio on set, and I have found I would like to add a decent camera to my equipment list. I am a one man show, and I want the images to match the level of sound I do.

I don't have the money to hire an operator, so it would need to be press play and go. I know all of you are going to tell me RED, AF100, C300, HVX, T3i, 5DmkII, etc. But I really don't have the money or the time to learn those cameras. I need stellar DOF (oh, and I don't want to be changing lenses every time I turn around) and instant color grading out of the box. Must shoot 442 Pro Res, and have pro level audio hook-ups.

I don't have a lot of money to get a lighting kit, so it has to be able to work in low light well and make the highlights pop. Basically, everyone, I want "Hollywood level" images to go with my sound, because, as you know, the visual is almost 50% of a good movie.


Sound familiar? Just switch the audio and camera aspects around, and you will see the humor in it.

Yeah, just trying to be funny........and maybe a little venting too. And make a small point.

Dreary day? It's like 73 degrees, sunny with a light breeze and not a cloud in the sky (just came in from the deck for a cold beer)....see ya! :beer:
 
Yep when my Tascam DR100 broke I had a think and picked up a Sound Devices recorder for the price of one of my better lenses

Most of us would not be without something like an 80-200 2.8 - so why not a recorder of the same price.. (ish)

You get an extra 1000 points for using the proper spelling of the word complement but unfortunately, I must take them away because you used the comic font. Sorry.
 
Sorry, I WAS trying to be funny. Figured "Comic" was a natural choice to do that in.

It was an artistic choice, yeah, let's go with that.

:grin:

Tough room. Now I know what Robin Williams felt like on a bad night.

I've never mounted a GoPro on my adjustable 10 inch BoomPole but now that you mention it...

Was that too cheesy?

do you have some 7506s laying around? if you plug those in and set the volume all way up to eleven, you might be able to hear some crickets. :evil:
