Hi,
I want to buy a good video camera, with which I can record all types of unicycling (mainly), skiing and also make normal videos. On forum I found many well created films (thanks to good vid camera and editing program), I hope that you will help me with choosing proper stuff.
I’ve heard that 550d is a good camera, but I’m not sure if both photo and vid camera in one machine is a good idea?
One additional question, what program should I use to edit my videos?
So far, there aren’t really any cameras that excel at both stills and video. This may be changing though, as more SLR cameras can do quality HD. Problem is, those cameras are primarily made for stills, and don’t come with the types of lenses you usually associate with a (lightweight) video camera. You usually would need multiple lenses to cover the same types of scenes. So for best results, decide which is more important to you. If it’s video, by a camera that’s built for video.
Software depends on operating system. Windows, Mac, Linux?
