Equipment

As university is coming to a close, the impending problem of not being able to use Leeds College of Art's equipment is looming on my mind. Over the last two years I have built up a fluent work flow with using the Canon 5DMk3. I am now confident with my ability to shoot in different situations with the high spec DSLR. This partly due to the fact that I own a Canon 500d, which shoot full hd. This camera gave me a basis for my knowledge of Canon DSLR's. However,  my Canon 500d only shoots 20fps in full HD and 30fps in SD. The camera is great for stills but I really want a camcorder with a built in shotgun mic. I think a HD camcorder like the Sony DCR-VX2100 would benefit me as a documentary filmmaker. This camera has everything built in that I will need for operating as a one-man-camera team.
