Hey everyone. I've been visiting this site for a couple months now, familiarizing myself with the camera and gear and workflow, etc., because in late March or early April I intend to take the plunge into the world of HDSLRs and purchase a GH2. (if I can find one!)
Every once and awhile I see someone come on here and post some variation of the "What gear/lens/tripod/etc should I buy?" question, which is sorta vague and is often not very helpful, because different people have different needs, different budgets, and different styles.
But I think if done correctly, hearing what others use with their GHx camera could be really useful, so I was wondering if we could use this thread for existing GHx owners to help out the newbies by listing in what area of production they predominantly use their GH cameras, and then list the gear they use, in order of importance to them.
That way, we could find out not only what gear is useful and figure out our budgets accordingly, but specifically within the needs for our type of filming, as I could see that the gear a wedding videographer uses, would differ greatly from someone shooting mostly sit-down interviews, which would differ greatly from someone shooting narrative movies, etc.
So if you like this idea and want to help out, please list what area of filmmaking you use your GHx for, and the gear you have for it, in order of importance (or frequency of using it if you prefer). Those of us yet to buy our camera and equipment thank you in advance.
