So I need a new camera but no sure exactly what would be right.
im thinking T2i but maybe you can help me
2) What experience do you already have with cameras? Have you ever even used one before? Have you helped your friend out with his camera? Have you owned your own? i own a shitty Sony handycam and have used it for 2 years. i also have filmed with DSLR's.
2) What gear, if any, do you currently have? (tripod, old camera lenses, mics, etc)
I have a slider(dolly) and a shitty tripod.
4) What are you planning to shoot and how do you want to use your camera? Are you going to use this with the sole purpose of shooting skiing? or do you think you might try other stuff as well (movies, documentaries, short films, etc) Of course ill be shooting skiing but i'd also like to use it for

school and to make mini short films.
5) Do you want a camera that you can hand to your friends, that could or could not have film experience, and let them shoot you? or will you be doing all the filming? I plan on doing 99% of the filming.
6) When filming skiing, how do you tend to shoot? (follow cams, leave it on record on a tripod and hike, film from a tripod, etc) I'd like to purchase a Glidecam and do some follow. Do some dolly shoots and your good old tripod shots
7) What computer do you currently have/use to edit (if not currently editing, what would you most likely use)? If you can provide specifics, such as hard drive space, RAM, processor size, that would be great. ATM i have a HP laptop. 4GB RAM, 250GB harddrive. i own Sony Vegas 9.
