Ok, so im going to shoot a film later on in October and November and im going to buy a camera and also a lot of equipment.

The list so far:

A camera
As many different lenses as possible, different colours, different looks...
Fisheye lens
A portable computer
Microphones
Build a dolly
A tripod
A crane
Stairs


These are the cameras ive come up to so far:

The "JVC-GZ HD7E"

The "Canon XM2"

The "Sony HDR-SR8E"


I have a 3000 dollars budget to spend on this stuff.


Now im not very familiar with cameras and their equipment, so I was wondering if you could give me advice about, the cameras, the equipment and other stuff I could add to the list. Im going to shoot a very silent and artistic film, mostly out in the nature, so I need something that can provide a beautiful cinematagrophy and something that has a lot of options, like different effects and different colours on the frame or different contrasts and so on, I basically need the most artistic camera I can get...


This will be my first film, so im not very experienced as I mentioned, and I´d appriciate any advice.
