Love it man. Happy new years I myself have just grabbed another ZED L3

As I've stated, you REALLY can't go wrong with any of the purchase's you will find either here at SSA or F.i. Just pick one that matches your needs and budget.

That's a damn good video sir! And what kind of lense was you using here?

Sorry about that guys, took a trip to Michigan for the holidays. And am just not catching up on rest. Thank you Shogen for your input, I will see what I can find on amazon. I will see if I can find that 3200 for that price, as when I was seaching, I believe it was upward the 700$ mark.

all chopped up lol

Yes. TBH, anything in the SSA Store is pretty high quality, anything you purchase their will please you. Just stay in your budget and you'll be happy.

I'll through a little R&B in here ^.^

Happy holidays to everyone.

Yeah for sure man,

That seems like a regular hand held camcorder. This purchase would have to play the role of "camera of the household" kind of deal. Meaning, it will have to be dual purpose of both taking great pictures and videos. I'm not exactly sure how well the A55 takes pictures, has shown from other replies here in the thread. Also, file size is really not an issue or an deciding factor either. I failed to mention that previously. What 5500 are you referring too? Also, as mentioned above, for the first purchase, I would rather use a "walk-around" lense vs spending money on numberous lenses. As this is my first trial in this type of field, I do not want to be overwhelmed by the many lenses needed per environment. This. A good lens will make a world of difference as well. See above response. I am not disagreeing with the need of a good glass. But what I am trying to say, is that, for the first experience, I would like to invest in one maybe two at the max lenses. Simply becuase I would like to get a feel of photography before I venture off attempting to change lenses. Also, keeping in mind, that the quality and fps of video is just as important as the still picture quality. So from what I've been told, the processor in some of the cameras may be the deciding factor from one brand vs the other. I have already described what I would be shooting, that is why I am asking for advice on which camera I should invest in, per my use. The price of the lenses is exactly what deters me often times. And is another reason why I am asking, what camera, and what lense, should I invest in that I could use for general purpose use. That way, once I get my fee wet, I can make a newly educated decision, on needing a new lense, for that given purpose. If I was to buy the Canon EOS 60D 18 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 3.0-Inch LCD (Body Only)(~610$), and the Canon 24-105mm f/4L with USM(~800$), that would cleary place me above my $1,000 budget. Again, I am not looking for professional grade equipment here. I would be perfectly fine with purchaseing the 60D, and a decent walk around lense, just to begin with. And then, maybe next year, or later in the year, I would go ahead and purchase taht 800$ lense. But just simply can't afford to make both of those pruchases at the same time.

wow, crazy son

:winning:

That is a whole lot of port!!!

Just a little tip, you should try to play with the box positioning a little bit, it will make a difference.

Damn, that looks sexy AF!!! I already know that 2 12" dcons get loud as balls, I couldn't imagine your setup!

wow, that ride looks very clean. Good find Jon, I hope to see more updates soon! Happy holidays goes out to you and your families.

I just came across this video Was taken with the Canon T2i but has the "Magic Lantern Firmware" Looks fucking surreal.

Wish you a speed recovery

Ok sweet, like I said, I haven't even looked at Sony really. Do you have any photos/videos of it you could share? Would be interested in how well it recorded subwoofers moving. Ok great, thanks. The lens that came with most of the mention camera's above were "18-50 or 18-150". I'm not exactly sure what those numbers even mean lol. But yes, thats what I'd be interested in, "walk around" lens. alright, sweet, thanks for the input.

Haha, no, I did not look at sony at all. do you really want to change lenses all the time? I'm not really sure. I mean, it sounds like an hassle to have to constently have to change lenses. Like I've said, I'm new to this kind of segment, so I would prefer to stay with one lense, that is good in all area, but not in expert in one area. If that makes sense. Like, if it takes decent pictures all the time, I would prefer that lense vs having to change lenses in every environment. Do you want something better at night? I don't see myself taking a whole lot of pictures at dark. But of course, there will be those times, like for "best neon light" contest or something of that nature. But it wouldn't be my main focus. Do you want to be able to take photos in the dark without a flash? That would be neat, but again, isn't a main concern. I mean, every snap and shoot camera I'ver ever seen had a flash. So some sort of flash would definately be a plus. Kind of on the fence with that one. I could see myself saying, "damn I wish I had more light" though... hmm. Are you okay with heavy weight ? I"m totally ok with that. I would simply invest into one of those carrying lanyards or whatever they are called lol. To wrap it around my neck. But weight isn't a factor at all really. Would you like editing photos? Meh, I'm not too big in editing photos. Like I said, I'm not going to be doing this as a career, just as another hobby. I would imagine ANY photo could be edited though?

So I've began researching cameras and am seeking advice. I am fairly new to photography so simplex would definately be a big help. I don't want to be overly confused by so many options. It is an hobby that I do look forward to explorering. The main things I would be shooting would be pretty much anything that catches my eyes. And I don't mean, like, pictures of my fork, or a pair of shoes that are untied. I mean, things like, car shows that I would attend, where there will be an abundance of colors. Or, city shots where there will be a lot of moving objects. Or stand still shots of newly purchased equipment, where focus, detail, and clairty will play a big part. Besides taking pictures, I would also be capturing video. This purchase would probably last me quite a while, I'm thinking at least 5 years, if not more. Videos taking will just consist of hangouts of friends, and car shows. There won't be any "film" worthy videos taken, unlikely, but still would appreciate decent quality. I don't expect to particapate in any long duration of shows that I would need to record 3+ hours of, so battery life isn't a high priority either. So, through some basic search, I have come across some of the following candidates. Also, Budget would be =< 1,000$ Nikon D7000 Canon 60D Nikon 5200 Canon T3i I know theres some really good guys here who could help me out, like Frostedflakejake and others.

Just found this guy's channel on youtube. Just thought it would be interesting to look at. As there isn't many ZED builds here on the forum.

I think this reference is beyond my time
