This is what I have to shoot video. So far I have only used the auto settings. I have it on a nice tripod and a external zoom switch. I use the the little view finder built in with a after market shade. I am sure shooting with a nice 10-11 inch monitor would be nicer. sometimes I use the viewfinder. At the Fort Smith FLI I shot handheld as I did not bring my tripod, which I regret. For the Austin event the tripod is coming, one way or another.

What I need to learn how to use well is my Nikon D3000. At this point I just shoot in sport mode with a 300mm lense for airplanes.
Here is a painful video Gyro edited from the Jersey FLI that I shot the footage for with my setup.
