In response to schlomo rabinowitz: > I get to buy a new videocamera for some work and wondered what people > recommend [...] The HVX200 is an amazing camera, and I have sung it's praises in articles and on my blog, so I will be brief here (though it's hard when it comes to this amazing camera), however, it's over the price- point that schlomo quoted in his post, however, if you've got the budget, the HVX200 is an excellent choice. I used one for six months this year and I fell in love with the camera. I even like the P2 workflow, which is controversial. And I suggest, if you have budget for it, get a camera capable of 24P or 30P, as progressive imaging produces better web video. Interlace is a holdover from analog video broadcast. And the new Sony HVR-V1U camcorder (around $3,500) claims to finally bring true 24P to a moderately priced Sony camcorder. Here are two links to some of what I've written about the HVX200: "Taking the Panasonic HVX200 out for a spin, Part 3" <http://kino-eye.com/2006/03/06/taking-the-panasonic-hvx200-out-for-a- spin-part-3/> "To P2 or not P2, that is the question…" <http://kino-eye.com/2006/04/30/to-p2-or-not-to-p2/> It's so fun to shop for cameras!
