So kind of a wide-range. I also want to buy something that will be relevant and practical for several years. </p> <p>I've been asking some friends for advice and one says I should stick with Sony. One says I should stick with Panasonic. One says I should get HDV. Another few says STAY AWAY FROM HDV FOREVER ITS THE DEVIL (His words, not mine).</p> <p>I don't really understand the difference between HDV and DVCPro HD or what is so wrong with HDV.</p> <p>I don't know if I would be okay with a $2000 camera like the Sony HDR-FX7 or if I should go all out and look for a used HVX200 kit. </p> <p>I also don't know if I should look only at flash drive cameras or tape cameras. </p> <p>The HVX200 looks so practical because it records to P2 cards *or* tape *or* a firestore drive. Some of the kits I've been looking at include some P2 cards and even firestore drives. </p> <p>But would it be more economical/practical to just go with a traditional tape camera?</p> <p> </p> <p>I DON'T KNOW and feel so overwhelmed. I would appreciate honest feedback if anyone can help me.

I have a Sony HDR-FX7 camera and it doesn't have any XLR inputs in it, it only has a mini plug. I've been looking at the Rode Videomic, and I'm receiving good feedback from it. How about you guys? Do you think that it's a good mic for my camera? And it's only $150 compared to other microphones out there. </p> <p><a href="http://usa.rodemic.com/microphone.php?product=VideoMic" rel="nofollow">http://usa.rodemic.com/microphone.php?product=VideoMic</a></p> <p>Tell me what you think! Thanks!</p> <p> </p> <p>BTW.. They also said that it was use for Paranormal Activity..</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/best-prosumer-hd-camera#post-52825 Thu, 03 Dec 2009 07:39:42 +0000 paul.leininger 52825@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I'm looking for a prosumer HD camera to film indoors interviews, product shots, and people at work in the office/lab. I have a light kit but would like a camera that works well in low light so I can get good around the office shots. My output is to youtube/web and occasionally to a projector in a meeting.  I want to be able to do depth of field and manual focus. I am considering the Sony HDR-FX7, do I need to be concerned with the CMOS/CCD debate for my application?  Any other suggestions?  My budget is ~$1K-2.2K</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/rode-videomic-vs-rode-svm#post-53879 Sat, 09 Jan 2010 07:37:30 +0000 justinisfilming 53879@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>What is a better microphone for my Sony HDR-Fx7 camera? I've been looking at Rode Videomic and the Rode Stereo Videomic. Suggestions? Or if there is any mic better than the 2, within the price range is good.

I am looking to learn the art to eventually complement my wife in her photography business. This camera would transition to be a second camera eventually (fixed shooter at weddings). Any guidance will be highly appreciated.  -HDDrew704</p>
