Hello, Terry, I utilize the camera to film my YouTube cooking show. It does seem to have a problem maximizing standard light sources (apartment lighting), which might impact your filming. I have personally struggled to get the light sensors to create bright video even when every light in the kitchen is on. On the plus side, the camera does produce high quality, very large image files. It works for YouTube, but how it would translate to a full blown filming depends on if you are utilizing industry lighting or shooting in bright sunlight. If so, it should work well. If you are going to film in low light or darkened outdoor conditions, you might want to search elsewhere. Hello, Terry, I utilize the camera to film my YouTube cooking show.

I would think so. It has a good focus setting and it's a really good quality. I've never really done that specifically but I love the camera so it should be good

The background is great for those kinds of needs. I cannot tell you if your pictures will turn out of professional quality unless a professional is taking them but a background is a good place to start.

I would not recommend it. For a little more money, you shoukd invest in a better quality camera that will last longer.

I am happy with mine. Unless you are going to spend the value of the camera base on a lens or more, should be fine.

I would say yes, because the lenses that you can get for this camera, will help your shooting get to that professional level and at this cheap cost for the camera it was very worth it for me. I do Video so I love it, but my photographer friend is the one who suggested I get it.

This is medium format film. If your camera is an medium format camera it should be fine.

It's pretty good, as a beginner I picked it up pretty fast. All in all I love my new camera :)

I'd say it's good for either. I had a small crack in the machine when I received it and they wanted pictures. I didn't take any and just said keep and try. :) Boy was I happy. This machine is great! I'd say yes go for it now!!

Yes, I love it! Its good for a heavy camera. Make sure all equipment is attached correctly.

I actually filed my down to fit. it turned out pretty good. Be sure to measure you tripod carefully. If you have a file, its plastic and it files pretty fast.. So in the end I was happy.

If your camera has a regular tripod connecting point http://www.takegreatpictures.com/content/images/threaded_hole_tripod_mount.jpg it should be fine. I want to mention that this tripod is light so if you have a very heavy camera, it may still shake depending on the wind conditions. Other wise, for a point and shoot, this is actually a pretty good buy. A good judgement would be, if you are going for more professional look, professional tools (including a really good tripod) are necessary. But of for regular shots, this tripod works just fine!

It is relatively cheap. If you are serious about photography do not rely on this one. Overall, the package is a very good one.

It works great. The only issue i've had is i am very forgetful sometimes i forget to check the light management system and i take a really dark/light photo. Just make sure you don't have any standards set high the photos on black and white film look good but the color ones look really vintage. Also i don't know where your camera is coming from and what condition it's in. I got mine in very good condition and it looked practically new. If you buy it only take pictures from 3.9 feet away unless you have a close up lense. If you do take a picture close up it'll turn out blurry. Which means you have to have someone take a picture for you if you want to be in it. The film is a little expensive too. It works great.

I believe in keeping it simple. If it has a mic input, you can't go wrong. I shoot with a Nikon and the audio quality of my videos is great. As the saying goes: "I never leave home without it!"

No, this is peel apart film (you manually have to pull it from camera) check out The Impossible Film's website for compatible film for your camera they are the only makers of integral film right now (they bought a polaroid factory). I know its expensive!!!So what you can do is buy an older polaroid landcamera "color pack" or similar camera (check out etsy or ebay) and have fun with this less expensive film - thats what I did :)

The short answer is no, but in my opinion that's a good thing since you have more control over the focus and apeture. It can be pretty unforgiving though, since it has such a shallow depth of field-- great for film, rough sometimes for stills.
