Yeah GB! don't insult them - I still use them myself.

Dear me.You lot are humourless.

Antique Brownies can still fetch up to £50 especially if they are one of those zany coloured models.

Carefully handled you can develop and print off a roll of Kodak 127 from your Brownie.

That separates photographers


@Thankful
that's brownie cookie that you eat

As someone who's worked with TV companies in the UK, Playlist managers and have started from no knowledge of TV Cameras I will say this.
(1) Don't believe anything shops tell you IE: Maplins etc..they're aim is to sell you a camera..thats it and you may end up with something that isn't for the purpose or aim you want
(2) Do your research- read reviews on the model camera your going to buy..BEFORE you buy it. Look at youtube for 'test footage' of the camera model..look at youtube reviews..and of course your friend is google..do your research on google. Whilst 50% of reviews are people's opinions and they're are some companies who get backhanders off the camera companies..some sites like CNET..youtube reviews etc are neutral and will give you a honest run down.
(3) Think thoroughly about what your looking for in a camera..and if the camera your looking at has has this feature..also use this to narrow down your search..camerabox is a good site for this
(4) look around for the best price..sometimes even emailing/telephoning companies they will give u a cheaper price than what the site says..
Me myself own a variety of cameras,
I've got a Samsung 12MP Digitial Camera/Video Camera that shoots in HD I picked up from Argos for £70..it's been a fantastic camera and i just use it reeally for holidays, nights out etc..
Then I also own a Panasonic HDCSD-700..one of the best purchases I ever made a fantastic video camera, and although it's been discontinued now it's fantastic..i've had stuff with this camera get on TV it's also a photo camera pretty good..this one cost me £700 but i got a few years warranty with it too...
(5) I have a Canon 5D and Canon 550D..I use these for professional photos..ie newspapers who want to interview me, when my management want photos etc and also had TV videos on these cameras..i bought both off ebay and paid £4000 with a few multiple lenses got 6 in total..
and I've just bought a Canon 7D too..

The Canon 5D is a good choice, but to be fair the 550D is alot cheaper and has most of the functions, plus if you crack it using magic lantern and jump a memory card you get the same features pretty much for the 550D.

download exifcleaner and set it up to clear all exif data from each picture

different camera no

ExifCleaner - Download.com

GTB is the man he knows what he's talking about..you can also download many softwares which will digitally enhance your photos or add presets to give it a pro shot..personally myself I don't use these as I'm a old school believer that from the directors/labels I've worked with natural light and the correct settings/set up before a video/photo is what makes it perfect after..but of course post production these days is as important as recording/photos..you can do alot in post if u have the talent..check out 'rs funky' on youtube that was shot on my SD700 Panasonic I mentioned earlier in the thread..but people think it's Canon 7D Shot..it's all in post production, because my manager is a great editor so he made the video look amazing. That video's now had over 123,000 youtube views and many comments many likes. And was just on UK TV here on Channel AKA/Flava.

a simple £70 argos samsung camera will do tht levi

[Hercules]

I use to think all cameras in their price point were the same. Now I got two new ones that act differently in different situations with features missing or a weak instruction book making them useless for me. Back to my trusty 6 year old Nikon P3.

[moneyhustler88]

Of course hercules you get what you pay for..but i was pretty impressed with the samsung i paid £80 for..it not only does it record hd video but at times i get better shots on it then canon 550d..don't believe your brand name hype around a camera also..
