Camcorders

..I've got a really good HD video camera (Sony HDR-FX1), a powerful computer complete with editing software, and I'm preparing to get a mic (Sennheiser ME66 shotgun with K6 power supply).. What else do I need / would be good to have?

I'm sure I need lights, but which make/model/wattage is best? ..and what options are there for powering them if I'm shooting on location in the middle of nowhere?

..Last but not least, any recommendations for a good video supply store in the San Francisco Bay Area?

Any and all help will be mad appreciated; thank you for your answers! :)

Do you know where to find Mini DV tape players for your VCR? I want to watch my movies in my VCR but can't find the bigger tape you put them in (if they have them) Any links would be great. Thank you for your help, I love you.

I know in photography you increase the shutter speed so I presume that in video making that it would be a case of increasing the frames per second? Does anybody know a comercially available camera for this kind of work?

I finalized it, popped it in my computer, and wanted to save the video to my computer so I could edit it in Windows Movie Maker. Only thing is it shows the disc menu and plays. What kind of program/drive do I need to get video off of it and saved on to my computer so that I can edit it?

I don't have a teeny tiny phillips head screwdriver to remove the screws. Do they even sell screwdrivers that small. The wire of a small paperclip barely fits inside the screws.

I was wanting to purchase an old color camcorder. If anyone is familar with the one from the John Lengend video - P.D.A., or the ones frequently used in surf videos. Those are the types that I am referring to. So if anyone can give me a year, model, or brand, it would be much appreciated. Thank you.

ok, so this is what i will do with it, i will make home videos to keep 4 mysself and put on the net and youtube. i will also make sum documentaries with it. i have a mac intel, i edit my movies, and im willing to make professionals videos, not like movie luking, like sumone actually edited it, and im gud with editing, if i do a good job with iMovie, i mite get final cut, so it needs to be compatible with that. it also has to be small, i dont care if its hard drive, minidv, or hd, im not a fan of DVD camcorders, so if u pick a DVD one, tell me if their good, ive researched the canon hv10, and apparently it has great movie quality, but has bad erogonomics (spelled that wrong), so basically, im luking 4 a camera that a little bit above average, and i wud like it to be either sony or canon, thx, this is great help!!!

I saw some of these devices on sale online for $55.00 to $95.00. Crazy! All i want to do is some simple editing of videos to make them into home movies. Is there a simpler way and better way than Window's Movie Maker?
