Begin by clearly defining your short-term needs: e.g.,
Is QuickTime, 15 fps, quarter-screen sufficient; or do you *need*
full-screen, 30 fps, broadcast quality?
Do you *need* a 3-chip camera, or will a 1-chip suffice?
Do you *need* to do a lot of transitions, special effects, or A/B rolls; or
will it mostly be straight cuts?
Are you planning on 1-minute clips, or editing a 60-minute video?
Do you have a *need* to do non-linear editing, or will it be sufficient to
do traditional editing and then digitize the final version?
What is your budget range: $3K; $10K; $30K?
What equipment--computer and video--do you currently have?
What sound quality do you *need*?
There are a lot of factors to consider. If you detail your needs/short-term
aspirations, and then post it in a video forum or newsgroup, you should get
some helpful replies.
Beware the marketing hype.
