There is something for everyone. Besides you don’t need to buy new equipment a good look around coupled with a little research and you may find some great video gear at a true bargain possibly online at Craigslist.org, Ebay.com, Amazon.com, etc. or maybe at a camera store, pawn breaker, thrift store, penny saver, etc. As people move up in new equipment they sell perfectly fine equipment sometimes at a real bargain. Besides what do you really need to get the job done that you have in mind.
