Info on 35 or 16mm movie cameras

[ffejdraga 0]

I am curious, and i would like to begin jumping with a 16mm ( or someday a 35mm) movie camera.

Where to begin?

I am at a disadvantage, never having worked with any film, aside from 35mm stills, but I figure I can start...

i am looking for information on what specific models are suitable for freefall, and the associated costs, and any other things that will help...

or maybe i could just pick up a sony vx2000!

...i just love the look of freefall/skydiving on film too much, though.

Any info is MUCH appreciated.

if you have the money, this is absolutely the camera to go with:

the A-Minima made by Aaton

Good choice for film/commercial work.

Bring cash -- lots of it.
