What type of video camera would be the best?
My friend and I will be shooting a sort of documentary for our dissertation. We will be in different countries all over Europe and Asia, shooting in womans shelters, and interviewing officials. We may be in some low light situations. This documentary will be put on DVD and on the internet, and the documentary needs to be good quality. We are planning on buying a professional video camera. Any ideas? Thanks!
