If you're serious about producing near broadcast quality, look at a Cannon XA10. It's about $1100.00, but used as a 2nd unit on many top shelf productions.

For editing, There is a monthly service that costs about $30.00 a month. It is continuously updated, so you can use the ever evolving list of effects, etc. It's Adobe Creative. Email me privately for the contact.

This, a little practice, talent and patience on the audio and visual side and you're in the $500.00-$1,000.00 finished minute category.

As recently as 3 years ago, what you can do with about $5,000.00 of equipment would have taken over $200,000.00. And the resolution is much better.

As with audio, if you don't have the right input, the output won't be much.
