Thread: Video equipment, filming and editing

You're right, zoom would be limiting factor with a go pro. I suppose in various situations I would look at using go-pro as the easy, lightweight carry for filming the bits and pieces, and then perhaps setup a more substantial camera with a good long lens for deliberate long range shots. Just a thought. Maybe I need a good SLR camera and lens too... hmmm
In terms of 'latest gear' I prefer to not buy the newest thing at new prices, I always prefer last years model or second hand items for better value. The fuji camera I bought in 2004 before I went to Afghan was an expensive luxury I wanted at the time, but I rarely do that with electronics anymore.
