So, do you have a handycam which could make a cinema - look video without making some editings on it? I curious about what handycam which could make that such video just like a real movie . I heard that Canon M41/400 could do that without any additional filters. And I heard that Canon G10 , which has HS system in it - could make an outstanding video even without an enough light , but I'm not sure whether it could make a great cinema look video too . So,do how do you get a cinema look in your ownd video?

You won't really get any kind of cinema look without editing software. Also it's not really down to the camera you use but the filming skills you put into it. You can use facilities on the camera, such as titles and effects but none of them are any good if your filming is terrible! You need a steady hand but better still a tripod, especially for zooming and editing is done 'in camera.' For example: if you zoom into something and stop, the next shot cannot be a close-up but you need to re-frame and shoot at a wider angle. If you pan left to right, the next shot cannot be right to left, otherwise you will make your audience seasick..lol So it's really about thinking how you are filming. Then you can use some of the effects of the camera but they are not that great compared to editing software. Hope that helps. :-)

in my opinion to be able to achieve the cinematic look of a video you need to edit it using an advance video editing software such as adobe premier

There are numerous of handy-cams that has the option to do live-editing on it. You may consider purchasing a canon-handy cam their new line-up of cameras has that "cinematic" filters/options on it which is quite great because the video quality is in high-definition. If you don't want to settle for a canon camera, you might want to consider purchasing a panasonic lumix camera, their fz series has a new line-up of cinematic options and video quality is good with 700-1080p avchd file resolution.
