We are film producers from Poland. We are producing mostly music videos (but documentaries as well). You can see our productions at www.myspace.com/inbornmedia or visit our page at www.inbornmedia.com Presently, we have just one Sony HVR Z1E camcorder but we use it only for reportages and short documentaries. For production of music videos we hire digital beta, xdcams or hdcam (depending on the budget). We are a bit tired of hiring the stuff from third parties and want to invest money in a professional camcorder. The future is high definition, so I assume SD isn't really an issue any more. Is there any camcorder which is HD, has 2/3 CCD and is cheaper than HDCAM? Are there any options?
