Sorry to disappoint you but smooth camera movement and good lighting are two
things that makes a HUGE difference between anything the average home user
does and professional films.
The technology has a minor role in all of this.
Put a consumer camcorder in the hands of a seasoned pro and I guarantee you
that you'll say "That was shot with a consumer camcorder? No way!!"
