Re: HVX-200 Vs. Varicam- What do you think?

Nick-

Maybe the commercial scenario wasn't quite right... it's all theoretical anyway. There is no commercial... I'm just posing a question for the sake of getting some opinions on what the HVX is going to look like. It's clear that you're a Varicam fan... that's great, so am I. I've used it to shoot several projects, however I'm looking for a camera to buy that will give me a great image, could be cinematic (if utilized properly) and that won't break the bank... and I feel like the HVX is the FIRST camera that really fits that bill. I'm not looking for a rental camera to make a buck on... I'm looking for a camera to OWN and to shoot my projects on. The last couple years have given us some great dv cameras (with 24P and now HDV) which was/is great! But...this seems different to me. This seems like a much bigger step. This is DVCPRO HD 1080P @ 24 FPS recording onto a couple cards that will fit into your wallet. That's a big change;
Thanks for the reply-
