But its good to know that it is possible to achieve excellent results with a relatively modest equipment.
As someone who makes a lot of videos, usability of my gear for my purposes is more important than the quality.
My Sony NEX-VG30 for example is a better quality quality camera than my Canon HFG30, but I use the Canon for 95% of my work. There are usability reasons for that.
And it's all the little things that make my videos what they are (which are not spectacular by any means, but more than good enough for the type of content). The angles I use, the framing of shots, the depth of field I set manually, the macro shots when needed (different lens), the transcoding, the white balance, getting the audio right in-camera etc.
And I tweak practically nothing in editing, maybe just the odd audio level here and there.
And then there is the willingness to release less than perfect material just to get the video out there.
