I'm considering "investing" in small scale video productions system. I would like to have the capability to shoot and edit 15-30 minute films, of a quality that could be entered in film contests. Currently I have a Pentium 90 with 16MB RAM and a 2GB hard drive. (adding more disk space or an optical drive is possible) Questions: 1. What video card would you recommend? 2. What digital capture card would you recommend? 3. What non-linear editing software would you recommend? 4. Video camera: Canon L2 or Sony CCDVX3? ANy comments? Preferences? Competitors? Finally, is it possible to purchase all of the above if the end goal is Professional results for $5k? 7k? I do not want to spend money only to find that I have only a semi-functional toy. Thanks in advance. Steve Naidich
