Hey Ya'll
My name is Meraux Dantes and I am an entertainer here in St. Augustine, Fl.

I recently switched to Mac. I am very happy with it.

I purchased the 17in macbook pro

* 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
* 1680 x 1050 pixels
* 2GB memory
* 160GB hard drive1
* 8x double-layer SuperDrive
* NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics with 256MB SDRAM

I have the ability to edit HD quality footage and I am wanting to purchase a camera. I need a decent, not too expensive, portable , good quality camera, i am wanting to either shoot footage for the website and possibly for dvds, O work in some darker tapas restaurants and outside occasionally for PR and publicity, and was wondering if ya'll had any recommendations... I would really appreciate it.

That should give you a little bit of info on what to look for in a camera and some recommendations as well.

If you're looking for an inexpensive HD cam, I'd say the Canon HV20. I know a fair amount of people in the Indie community who use them if they need to go HD. It should run you around a $1000 bucks. From there, HD only gets more expensive.

I (like in that post) recommend MiniDV as it is still used as an industry standard (aside from the new P2 cards).
