• Answer:

  Making a Documentary, you want to make the highest quality video. The cameras with the highest quality video quality are MiniDV tape camcorders, To get HD camcorder that max the video quality of a $399 MiniDV tape camcorder, you would have spend over $3500 to find it. Then get a quality video editing program, Windows Movie Maker is Junk. Pinnacle Studio is a much better choice.
