Video Equipment - What do I need to get started

[joolsey]

I'm wondering what it would take to get into filming live shows, I know a lot depends on the venue itself, lighting, etc.  I'm not looking into a cam with audio, that's what the live sound guys are for.  I want to be able to get into live streaming or podcast type stuff with this.  Any advice and insight would be awesome

You can check out the venue here.  I know there might not be enough pictures of the place but it's all I got right now.

I know eventually I'll have to purchase an HD cam but I'm not keen on shelling out 5k on equipment just yet.

Looks sweet but we don't use apple stuff at the studio

A lot of people who want to get into simple video editing use Macs for that sort of thing. Wish I could help you out more.
