Hello,
I'm looking to purchase (rent first) a camera to be used with a stabilizer to shoot interiors, the most artificial lighting will be a bounced 1K with a dike.
Right now I shoot professional Beta SX with the 2/3 ccd chips (company's camera), but since I have a very small budget for my own production, I'd like to get smaller DV camera.
To those of you who have seen the difference, how much variable is there between the prosumer 1/3 ccd chips, the next level (and weight) 1/2 ccd chips, and finally the larger 2/3 size chips?
At 43 years old I really don't want to be flying a 30 pound 2/3 size camera on a heavy steadycam rig!
My production will be aired on T.V. so it needs to at least be the prosumer level. Windows will not be gelled, just blinds closed where needed.
Also, HD is an option but I'm a little scared of the added complications and costs to non-linear editing.
Are the 1/2 ccd chips that much better for low light as oppsed to the 1/3?
Thanks for any help !
