Easy 10pts: Recently I’ve been interested in making short films…..but I’m confused 
[ cameras]?
Enlighten me.
So basically, I’ve been researching cameras to use, looking around youtube and stuff. To my amazement, I found for great cameras!!
Nikon D90 and Nikon 5000
Canon HV40 and Canon T2i
Unfortunately, I’ve never done anything close to video production and im still a bit confused on which one is best fit for me. You know, something easy to easy and works well with a beginner. This summer I hope to become good at what I starting to do.
In conclusion, I want you to explain, please as simple as possible, how these 4 are different from each other. Please as detailed as possible, without going over board because I wouldn’t understand if you listed formats and numbers.
BQ: How do I learn the settings in the camera? I know the basics but …. every time i look around their stating numbers and codes to set in the camera.
ahhh. Thanks again for your time. Really appreciate it
I suggest you get the Canon HV40:

The other three cameras are mainly still picture cameras but have the ability to take video as well. The Canon HV40 is a specialized video camera so it’ll generally be more suited towards what you’re doing (if you were going to get into photography then the other three cameras would be great choices).
This camera can take full high definition videos, also known as 1080p. Basically saying it’s top quality, but won’t be exactly movie quality. That’s really the only specification you need if you’re beginning in video media, quality. All the other things don’t need to be worried about until you’re like a movie producer, so you can ignore it for now.
I’m not sure what you’re asking about setting the camera, I’m guessing you want to learn more about all the different settings that a camera can use. This is a hard question to answer unless I know exactly what video camera you’re choosing. The only real thing you need to look at is the quality, 1080p, 1080i, 720p, etc. 1080p is the best quality. Also, you may want to make sure to use 16:9 aspect ratio for widescreen and 4:3 for more of a square video.
To sum it up, since you’re a beginner getting started in video, you don’t need all the fancy settings and stuff. Just make sure you try and get a 1080p video camera for the top quality. Once you get that, decide on what you want to make a video of, capture some clips, plug the camera into a computer and transfer files over. Edit it from there using whatever effects you want and up the quality. That’s it, hope I helped!
