I hate to think of how many of these threads have been posted. I'd do a search but each thread is particular to the OP's needs. The needs of the camera or for a documentary as well as youtube/funnyordie videos.
I was thinking of going SD but don't want to spend a lot of money only to be outdated sooner than later. Below are some of the one's I was looking at. My original budget was $1500 but I've raised it to $2000. Now that I'm going with HD, I think I'm going to have to buy a mac for editing. When going used, is there a certain number of hours used I should be wary of going over? All input is appreciated.
