Good UK magazine on digital video / camcorders

Hi,

I need to get a full kit of camera gear for work - for some in-house corporate video. So will need camera, microphones, green screen, tripod etc.

I've searched the web but it is overwhelming and I can't get a clear idea of what I need.

Does anyone know of a good print magazine available in the UK that has a buyers guide etc that may give me some pointers?

Re: Good UK magazine on digital video / camcorders

There is a dearth of any of these publications as the perception seems to be that the camcorder market is niche , and all everybody wants is the point and shoot to SD card or HDD without any interest in editing or video graphy techniques that work
If you find any at all then that is what is available, otherwise these forums ( and similar upto a point) are not lacking in resoursefulness of ideas
DV doctor is another forum woth looking at amongst others
I dont think the info you need will be in any of the magazines which will be focucing mainly on the consumer market
You may be better of actually talking to some equipment dealers
If you want I could give you contact nos websites via PM in a day or so

Is there some sort of trustworthy buyers guide for equipment anywhere?
Forums are quite daunting at first as you don't seem to get the big picture
