I by no means am claiming to be an expert but here is a little bit about the gear I’ve used, currently use and plan and purchasing soon. After using DV camcorders and Sony handycams for my first few years I invested in my very first, and all-time favorite camera of all time, the Canon T3i. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HE-VWdZUM1w I have shot my very first shorts as well as recently brought a hacked one to Seattle and got some beautiful results. https://youtu.be/UrDMakDV5K
