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? No experience at all, used a friends bridge camera once or twice, and just using a gopro.
2) What gear, if any, do you currently have? (tripod, old camera lenses, mics, etc)
none, weak tripod but nothing decent
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) pretty much exclusively shooting skiing(photos and videos at indoor slopes, dry slopes and the mountains.
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?
Yeah one that I could pass to be friends would be good
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) when I'm with a bunch of friends I'll do followcams but often just leave it on a tripod and hike(so it would be good if it's remote capable)
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.

hard drive ~300gb, but 1tb external hd. 8gb ram, 2 ghz quad core.
7) What program do you currently edit on? How familiar are you with it (1- just learning; 10- I can make tutorials and know the keyboard layout) after effects I'm vaguely useful with, but just learning premiere.

also I'm hoping to get a camera that will shoot decent videos (hoping for 720 or 1080, 60 fps would be nice but isn't a neccesity), must also have capability to have an external mic.
thanks
