Throughout this course, I'm going to assume that you have a basic knowledge of video production. It doesn't matter if that knowledge is been gained through using a DSLR or a high end professional camera. We're going to just assume that you have used a video camera before and have faced tasks like getting proper focus and exposure. Don't worry, we're going to explore how to do all of those tasks with these camera. But if you're completely new to video, I would encourage you to check out come of the fundamentals courses available here on lynda.com. Robbie Carman and I have a series all about DSLR video that you can check out, and Anthony Artis also has some great courses to help you explore the essential skills.
With that said, we are going to explore these cameras from the ground up, and look at all four models. If you have access to one of those cameras, all the better. The good news is, whether you have a camera in hand or you're getting ready to rent one, or maybe buy one, this information can still be easily ingested by you and it should make a lot of sense. Alright, we've got a lot of things to explore today, let's begin by taking a look at some of the specifics of the different camera models.
