Q. Hi! In 2015, some school mates and I are planning to shoot a remake of The Breakfast Club. It will be the 30 year anniversary and we are excited to start. Anyways, I am looking for a great filming camera for movies. I know it'll be pricey but I seem to get 0 help when I just google it. I also want to know how to make the footage have an 80s feel, quality wise. I will be using the camera that any of you suggest for a number of years and films to come, and I would also appreciate if you have any movie editing software? Thank you!
A. I am guessing you are looking to use some digital camera to film. If you are going to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a professional movie camera, please ignore rest of my answer.
Most of us know that most compact cameras, or smart-phones like iPhones, are not good at video recording. If light is good, they do an okay job. When light is dull, they are almost unusable. Same is true for most consumer SLR cameras with kit lenses. So what do we do to take high quality High-Definition videos? Should we use an HD camcoder or a pocket camcorder like Sony Bloggie or UltraHD?
Most compact cameras don't do a good job in low light- for still images or for videos. If you zoom in, the shake becomes too obvious. Most DSLRs will do a little better as light level goes down but many of them will not auto focus during videos (because of the mirror which needs to be flipped for focusing). You can bypass this with a mirrorless camera which can auto focus, like Panasonic G or GF series but with Auto focus, you lose the control over which part of the frame, or on which person to focus on. If you have 3 persons in a frame, your Auto-Focus will not know which one you want to focus on. Why not? Silly, it is Auto-focus! It focuses by itself!! That is the reason you never see a professional movie or videos done with Autofocus.

Will Sony cameras stay this price until they are sold out, or will the sale end on Feb 2?
Q. I'm confused. It says, "Now through February 2, 2013, or while supplies last, save $200 instantly on qualifying Sony Alpha Digital SLR cameras."
I know this sale started in December and it said it would expire in January, but then they moved it up to February. Does this mean they are just trying to sell these certain models until they are gone? Or does the sale go away on Feb 2? I don't know if I need to buy now if I want the $200 off price or if it's no hurry. I also don't know if I should wait for the a58 as it might be better. Maybe they are selling these off to put out new models? But the a37 is also discounted and it hasn't been out that long.
There's nothing I dislike about them, but if Sony is going to add the mirror-flipping feature and/or the OLED viewfinder in the a58, then I want to wait for that.

A. Lets say they have 100 cameras to sell.
If they sell all 100 by 25th January - the sale ends
If they reach 3rd Feb and still have 20 left, then the sale also ends and those 20 will be sold at the full price.
