I've been into video editing and hopefully soon to get my hands on the Adobe Master Collection software. I use Sony Vegas to edit, and it just doesn't have the stuff I want to start to use.
My pops and I have been nominated for two weddings. I don't feel comfortable using a camcorder that isn't made for this type of thing. We recently purchased, few months back, the Sony DCR-SR42. Has a nice 30bg harddrive and and is small. However, I want to use something more professional. I like editing, but the taping part I don't care for. I am wondering is there someplace local I can learn some info on before I probably will buy it online. I talked to one guy at wedding recently vidoetapping and he was using some $2,500-3,000 setup. I want something nice but nothing up and that range yet. Something with quality and something with a portable mic that can be placed on or near the people speaking while the camera is farther away, with no cord attached. I am going to do some searching, but I would like to physically hold one and talk to someone about the characteristics and features I shouuld be looking at when deciding.
Thanks
