Canon XL1

 I'll be using this camera most probably in the near future, its the common camera at my uni and theyre pretty easy to get.

Although its not 'HD' like the HG20, this is a far more professional camera in terms of depth of field and audio capture etc, so... itll give a much more cinematic feel to anything I do with it!

Camera History

Alot of people on youtube ask what camera i use for the films so ill show you them here in chronological order:

Sony-DCR-DVD810

First camera i used actually belonged to my mum, this was quite a few years back and i didnt have the resources or money or even the experience to buy one for myself.  It did the job, at the time anyway.

Panasonic VDR-d150

Im not sure if this is the exact camera but it looks like it.  We bought this together as a group when we all decided that making our own films was pretty cool.  It was a downgrade from the Sony, but it was ours so we could do whatever we wanted to with it!

Canon HG-20

This is the bad boy i use now.  Ive still not figured it all out because theres a ridiculous amount of gadgets and options on it!  Recentlyy used it for KF: Law and Order and Hornets Nest, and you can tell straight away the quality has much improved from the previous cameras which only shot at around 480p, whereas this shoots in 1080.

Cheeky update

I didn't finish the comp entry!! So gutted, i was ill over most of Christmas and although i almost did finish, the illness got the better of me and i missed the deadline.

In other news however, ive just ordered a DM-50 microphone for my Canon, so that should make a world of difference to the youtube shorts and any other projects!!
