Topic: Thinking of getting into videography... any ideas?

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hi all,

I've been doing alot of weddings lately and I've seen alot of videographers doing there thing. I was shopping in the weekend and I noticed that a professional video camera with all the gadgetry is only around $3k. I was like umm... ok so I did a bit of investigation and found out on average most charge around $800-1600 for a wedding!!! Thats with 1 camera as well.

All the editing is done on programs like sony vegas or adobe which I'm already competent with so now I'm thinkn I must be in the wrong business. In saying that I think its a good mix being a video jockey and a videographer.

Anybody doing this sort of thing at the moment? Got any recommendations on the brands/models I should be looking at?

I own a sony pd150 & a sony vx2000. they work great in low light. the xl2 is also a great camera. bought my cameras for about $1100 on ebay.
 

What specs do I need to look at when choosing a camera? Minimum recommendations? DVD or HDD?
