What the video cameras do you recommend for an independent filmmaker?
I wanted to make short films online strart before, but wanted to find a good camera first. I was the senses were Pansonic HVX-200, Canon 7D, EOS Rebel T2i Conon, Nikon D7000. Unfortunately, these are beyond my reach. I'm looking for those who are in the range of few hundred dollars, with an external microphone input, HD 1080. Or if that can be found cheaper (not say Amazon or eBay) please tell me.
Most rent their equipment filmmakers, indie or not. This is where I rented http://www.birnsandsawyer.com/_camera-rentals/hd-cameras/ If you are not planning to produce prints in 35 mm theater, then doing little video shorts can make use of the above. At this time, the D7000 is the only one that can autofocus in video mode sample http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMbBKukJzBk
