I've had a 3ccd video camera for a couple of years.
But am now looking to upgrade to high definition.

What's the current flavour of the month for pros and semi-pros alike ? !sherlock!
All considered opinion very welcome. Thanks

The HDR FX1 is a really nice HD camera, we have a couple of these.

You can get some pretty good deals on these now as newer models are released.

Sony are bring out the HDR-FX7E an updated/cut down version of the HDR FX1.

I have got a Sony Z1. We have broadcast off it in DVCAM mode, the HDV mode is brilliant!
