HI,

i meant film as in video ..

I am interested in exploring still photos for some concept art but the
trouble is I am really looking for an easy / fast means to take photos
that are detailed or of good quality..
without having to spend years learning or the money..

Zoomed in video or photos i.e. where you can see things like pores in
flowers etc interest me because they are not usually visible..

As far as video goes I was looking for something of high enough quality
that would allow me to efit it around without comprimising the quality
too much..
