HVR-V1 does look good. Check the Canon HV20 HDV, good review here: http://www.videomaker.com/article/13252/ I'm still into the Canon AVCHD hf100 I got for $650, VideoMaker review here; http://www.videomaker.com/article/13694/ definatley great for vlogging, etc. With this mic, and a wireless setup for a laviler, Pelican case, extra batteries, monopod, and a couple of 16GB cards, you're talking close to $1500 See my review here: http://www.techtrek.tv I only hear great things from the PD170 I know it's not HD, but the Panasonic 100b is just amazing: http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-AG-DVX100B-Proline-Camcorder-Optical/dp/B000BYJFYW/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8s=electronicsqid=1214597539sr=8-1 --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Ruud Elmendorp: Video journalist [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey Kerry, Like this this group remains alive. The Sony HVR-V1 looks very good for that. It has the size of a PD170 and is very versatile. Although its low light capabilities are not too good. But they say it has a good gain with little noise. It should cost around 4,000$ or less.

I'm really happy with the Sony HD1000 I purchased last month. It's about $1600 on its own, but I purchased a kit from BH for $2000 (two pro batteries, charger, case, hood for the LCD). It's a shoulder-mount camera, which makes a huge difference in how you look to clients people on the street. I've been mistaken for a news crew member twice when on a shoot (and it was at a dance recital, WTF?). That will be a huge asset to me when doing interviews at Dragon*Con in September. The video quality is probably on par with or slightly better than the HV20 (which is a fantastic camera for the money). The advantages I see are the camera's look, the second accessory shoe (holds a lamp on the front wireless kit on the back) and the manual control ring. I'm not happy with some of the major functions being moved to touchscreen-only menus (the spot light button on my TRV950 is now buried in a menu on the HD1000) but that's common on pro-sumer cameras. Footage looks great in SD or HDV, and you can use the component or HDMI connectors to get improved capture if you have the right inputs on your editing station (and a ton of free hard disk space). The camera also has a kick-ass super slo mo mode that looks very smooth (records three seconds high-speed to a memory buffer, prints it to 10-12 seconds of tape). We're using it in a Michael Bay spoof for Dragon*ConTV :) Brian Richardson - http://siliconchef.com - http://dragoncontv.com - http://whatthecast.com - http://www.3chip.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
