I lost, but have quickly recovered.

So I lost the ebay auction for the ZR960, but I have found another Camera.

Would this camera be a decent camera to purchase?

I still need to check it to see if it works with final cut studio, so I'll be back to look in a bit.

Thank in advance,
Caleb.

that camera is not natively compatible with final cut studio... it records h.264 (like the canon dslr's) and must be converted before you do anything with it in FCS.

You seem to be the Camera Man around here!

You tend to know the most about Cameras around here.

That look good? If not, mind throwing something in my price range out there please?

Thanks in advance,
caleb.

what is your price range and what features do you need?

Tight

My budget is very tight. $350 is the highest I will go, but I'd like to try cheaper right now. I don't know what features I'd need either. I'm just starting out, and just need a Camera to get some practice in, and later I can probably buy some better stuff later like extra lens, a mic, etc.

Thanks,
Caleb.

go used (maybe even SD mini-DV) or some sort of flip cam (or one you linked to before).

do not spend money on lenses for cams this cheap... it is throwing money away. with this budget, you don't really get to have a checklist of "must-have" options. it is really whatever you can find.

Thanks.

Sounds good. Thanks.
