All the Zacuto gear is pricey compared to Redrock Micro, but the 'Z' gear has setups for a multitude of rigs. I wouldn't spend the cash for the HV30 setup because I would only be using it as a 'crashcam' or 'speedcam' anyway. However, as a semi-gearhead I like the potential of being able to put one of those on a 'Zuca' and turn a trainee loose with it. My recomendation to Shooter is the same, if you're ready and have the budget quit foolin' around with the 'training cams' and move up.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/searching-cheap-pro-camera#post-48407 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 14:03:23 +0000 zoobie 48407@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>probably because it's the Zuca...by Zacuto</p> <p>I guessed right...more than the little upside down cam</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/searching-cheap-pro-camera#post-48406 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 13:06:42 +0000 The shooter 48406@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I think I stopped my choice on the HV30.

Your thread says you're looking for a pro camera, but you're talking about consumer grade rigs. If you are serious about a real prosumer or mid-level pro camera, watch the 'Shootout' video on the 'Advanced Info' thread. The discussion in the video will give you a good idea of where you are skill wise and the possibilities for camera work beyond the consumer level.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/searching-cheap-pro-camera#post-48286 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 10:51:23 +0000 Cville 48286@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> I bought the hd1000u last year.  I ended up buying it brand new from B&amp;H because I was watching pricing on Ebay and its seemed the used cameras were going for a price within a couple of hundred of buying new.  It still seems to be the case.</p> <p>I had also looked at the canon hv20 and the hv30.  You can get an hv20 for undr 500 on ebay these days.  </p> <p>So far I am happy with the HD1000u.  I know it is a single chip but it is a realativley large chip cmos.  I am shooting mostley under well controlled lighting.  this camera met my needs and stayed in my budget.  Also the plus side is the appearance is profesional.</p> <p>In recent time the the HD1000u has been going for around 1100 to 1300 on ebay.  New at B&amp;H is 1579 plus they have a ecoupon/rbate  deal if you click on the rebate link onthe B&amp;H listing that expires 6/30.  You would have to decide it that was worth anything to you.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/searching-cheap-pro-camera#post-48282 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 09:53:29 +0000 The shooter 48282@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I'm looking to buy a camera, and I can't decide from consumer and pro.
