Video camera recommendations?

[Yesfan70]

Bump.

So far, I'm really happy with this camera's performance. I still got to go through all the ends and outs of the manual to fully understand what all it can do. Any of you guys have any good recommendations for some accessories? I purchased a bag and another SD card (32GB), but was wondering if I'm leaving anything out that might be must buys for this camera. Thanks.

Consider a tripod or monopod to help stabilize the camera while shooting. Does it have a microphone input? If so consider an external mic and boom.

I have a small cheap tripod I got from eBay for my cameras years back (about a foot, foot and half tall.), but nothing where a camera and/or camcorder can really have the unit elevated. I've thought about a boom mic too since this camcorder does have an input. Got any recommendations for a small budget?

Just to let you know, I have a Sony camcorder I bought new in 2010. It uses SD cards, in fact it came with an SD card.

So I'm WAY late to this thread but...

I'm super seriously considering the Canon EOS Rebel T3i.

Super camera (for a non-pro like me) plus 1080p video (at 24 or 30 fps).

Plus I'm already into the EOS line (going way back) so I have a variety of lenses, accessories, etc. to use.

If there's a good Boxing Day sale on them somewhere tomorrow...

Jeff saw this on Woot today :text-link:, not sure how close it is to the EOS model you just described...also by the time you get to it woot may have a blender for sale.
