Hello,
It is my first year at university where I am studying audiovisual arts. Film directing and cinematography are more specifically what I would like to study later on. We have been told that we will not need any equipment until the third year but I would like to practice on some techniques and gain some experience. I would like some (professional, if possible) guidance on what camcorder should I begin with and the features the product must have. I can't spend more than 700€ / 950$. I have found a low price camcorder I like and I read good reviews too, it is the Canon VIXIA HF R400 Full HD, but I do not know if it is what I need.
I would be very grateful if you could clear up these questions for me.
