Hi Tivvyc.
I mainly shoot video when out filming at preserved railways and mainline work.
Best advice i could give you is this; 1. set your budget, 2. list your equipment what you require, 3. research your equipmenton on the web, your local camera shop etc, 4. prepare to haggle, when you offer pound notes, its suprising the discount you can get.
Would also suggest you get a magazine called Camcorder Buyer HD Ready.
This is a new magazine, that roadtests camera's and equipment, explains jargon, offers tips and advice etc.
One tip i would personally give is this, on the railways, if it moves FILM IT...
Whats here today, maybe gone tomorrow!!!
You never know, you may just get that magic piece of footage.
Best of luck.
