Hi Chad.
I did not realize that you already had a good quality SD/DV camera. If you already own a competent DV camera, then may I please ask you to tell me again what are the exact qualities/specifications you are looking for?
In other words, when you say “best camera”, best for what? Are you looking for HDV, AVCHD, more SD/DV? What do you envision yourself doing? Do you envisionwedding videography, mographics work, COPS/Reality TV, moto-cross, indie filmmaking: what?
What do you believe is your budget?
Also, have you checked out the camera reviews on this website?
I hope this is helpful.
Norman
