hi guys .. need some advice here ...

im stuck with a charity video content production for a channel ..
weekly production of 27mins Video. the thing is since its charity
we dont have hardcore experienced guys interested in it nor the funds

i might havto start the pilot footage with 3 SONY DCRHC42E Cams &
Sony Vegas 6 & a Sound Recording MP3 Player ..

As of now i dont have the final specs required by channel guys of
the video being produced .. but mainly the 30min footage will contain
interviews, single person talks, cultural events, .. etc.

what i would like to know is .. a good overall recommendation for
the equipment that we'll require on a showstring budget when it goes
into regular production .. ie. the min no. of cams, cam models, lens sizes,
content formats, realtime editing eqpmnts., mebe even good tripods & tips
for a good video or even reading topics in this regard .. anything &
everything which will make the footage decent at a really really tight
budget .. :) .. i know media people dont like to work on a budget of
this scale but cant help it right now ..

having said the above .. im only at a basic home user
level regarding media .. i know people will start cursing once
they know this .. :) .. any help from u guys will be appreciated ..

regards
