Career Videographer needs camera advice

[Anonymous]

Hello fellow enthusiasts,
I am kicking my business up a notch, and allocating around 6-7K for a new camera. The Canon XL2 seems like a great camera, one that I’ve been eye-ballin. The newer Canon XL1 is just plain out of my reach in budget. Too bad there isn’t one inbetween.

At any rate, I am getting a ton of advice about this and that. I do like interchangeable lenses, HD, 24P. I keep hearing about P2 technology, and though that is an efficient system, the cards are godawful expensive. I may entertain that technology when the prices come down.

What I’m looking for is experienced cameramen/women to tell what they would purchase with this size purse, and why.

Much thanks in advance.
