The Test Begins...

So thanks to the generosity of Hunter, I am buying his Canon ZR60 for half the price of one purchased elsewhere. I totaled up some figures today for equipment I'll need to start filming and it turns out that the cost of the camera, MiniDV tapes, and a microphone just about equals the typical cost of the camera. The other two items I need are pretty much taken care of. I found a tripod at my house and Hunter may be throwing in a wide-angle lens. I'll have to buy a lens if that one works on the new camera Hunter is buying with Danny and Kemer or if it isn't included with the cost of the camera. Still, this is a great deal for me. Thank you, Hunter!!
