Thank you Far North.

It's not harsh guys, just reality. And here's another reality for you: You have the world at your fingertips----it's called: THE INTERNET.

But here's a couple of links for you to start out:
www.markertek.com
www.videomaker.com
www.dvinfo.com
www.creativecow.com

The reason places like Campbell Camera have done well is because they have 'niched' the market. B & H has BLANKETED the market but it doesn't mean they're a good distributor--just convenient for the people who don't know where or how to shop for video/film/photography equipment.
75% of all video and its related equipment is computer based. Hard drives, same cables, computer controlled, NLE editing systems.
Yes, there are TONS of cool accessories for cameras out there.......but to shoot GOOD VIDEO you really only NEED 2 or 3 things: tripod, lens controller, editing system. After that its just practice, practice, practice.
I've been doing it for 20 years and I'm still practicing on a daily basis.
Yes I get paid for my work and I turn down more jobs than I actually do---because I have standards.......no porn, NO REALITY SHOWS--(in my opinion they have helped the demise of our education system and high American ethics), and I don't do weddings, funerals, or 'gatherings' of any type.
It ain't easy, it takes WORK in order to be a good videographer......and I mean work.
I'm thru again.
