Answer 6

if you are doing stuff for tv you may have to work within very specific parameters. some channels won't even except HDV while SD-DVcam is fine (ironically HDV is better).

have a look at some of the big boys and check out the field gear. more often they have dvcam shooting 16:9 and the gear may be around $60K per unit.

you will have to think about your project in terms of budget and requirements.

if you are serious about broadcast and have a strict budget try to pursuade your producers into letting you use a HDV option.

hope it helps!

MiniDV tape.

Price range $2,000 - $4,000 - but this is less than 1/2 of what you will be spending...

Recommendations:

Canon XHA1, Sony HVR-V1U, Panasonic HDX200

Others worth considering:

Canon XL2, Sony HDR-FX1, FX7, HVR-Z1U, Panasonic DVX100B.

Be sure to budget for:

wired Shotgun mic

wireless Lavaliere mics

wired or wireless omni directional handheld mic

XLR cables (2 @25 feet)

If camcorder has only 1/8" mic in jack, you will need an XLR adapter from BeachTek

high-capacity rechargeable batteries

Tele lens

wide angle lens

fluid-head tripod

Pelican or SKB cases

Video lights (Bescor)

battery belt (NRG Research)

Universal Shock mount (for shotgun mic) - Sabra SMM-1

Graphite or other lightweight/strong Boom pole

Headphones

... this should get you started...
