actually if u can afford it, buy the newest final cut and start using it, if u have someone who have a camera shoot some b-roll or if u do any youtube u can cut with it. do have any editing exp at all? later kris

its a great camera, i live in modesto and shoot a lot of t.v. stuff and short films on it. there the new hvx500 as well as the hvx3000, i hear those are great as well. later kris
