Question by StevieD92: Looking for a new camcorder?
Hi there,
I’m looking to go to University to study Film Production and Cinematography and am looking for a new camcorder to use in building a portfolio and for the course. Any suggestions? Preferably an HD camcorder. My budget isn’t huge; £400-500 maximum!
Thanks
