is this a good kit for low budget indie filmmaking?

It does the job. Bright, daylight balanced. Setup and tear down is a little time consuming but that price is unbeatable.

Judging from the question itself and your grammer, the selection of a camera is the least of your wories. From what I expect you to produce, purchasing this camera will allow you to make your "horror film" and not waste your money.

I suggest you not worry about it. It's very expensive and there may be better alternatives. It did not work at all for me and I kept trying for a long time. But I do know one person who swore by it. I think both kits you are asking about are the same.

At the price point, absolutely. It takes good quality photos and videos with minimal user skill required. My only concern is making sure I have a spare set of AA batteries close at hand.

Yes! All of the above...this is a great kit for the beginner. I have taken over 5000+ shots of my 10 mth old daughter and I am still amazed by the quality of this DSLR,granted I am an amateur. I would recommend it for sure!

Yes, it is. And the videos are pretty decent. For a minimum investment, this camera is very good.

If you have a better tripod and a decent camera its ok. Not professional Quality. I photograph model cars and it does a good job.

Well this kit does come with a DVD that is instructional and shows the methods of using this for finding shorts and such. All you really would need is basic knowledge and follow the instructions and you should be ok. Not really a high tech tool. Hope this helps.

Absolutely. It takes 35mm film, is easy to load and relatively easy to use. Just be sure your beginner reads the manual and understands how to use a film-based camera and the concept of taking double-exposed photos and forwarding the film.

The kit has everything you need. If for some reason it will not....you can return it. Go for it.

I have no idea! I bought this kit for my 12 year old son. He loves it! I think that it does a very good job for a child to practice using his creativity with creating stop motion video with Legos. It was priced under $100. The camera is not high quality, but does very well for close up of Legos. Really you get what you pay for and it is a child's toy!

I would recommend it to you. The wide screen makes it ideal for movies, but the audio quality is not so great. I wouldn't say it's bad though, just the internal speakers are sub-par. Get a set of external speakers, and you'll be good to go. As far as school projects go, it's been able to handle all the projects I've used it for :)

I would say yes, because the lenses that you can get for this camera, will help your shooting get to that professional level and at this cheap cost for the camera it was very worth it for me. I do Video so I love it, but my photographer friend is the one who suggested I get it.

Yes. I recommend getting one of the starter kits - it's a bit more cost effective.

Well It depends what kind of result you are expecting, I can say that this device work fairly well, Having this said I would not use this one if i was using a better mic for the rest of my film, the quality can be very different between a pricey Mic and this one, I hope this helps
