Re: I really need your advice on a purchase for a new project

Hop on a plane and get to the NAB show in Las Vegas to get your hands on the equipment then make your purchase if you are that determined. This is where you will get the best deals on equipment.

You heard it from me and Matt S. to rent the equipment. If it works for you, then buy it. Don't be an impulse buyer.

Your HVX200 is more than adequate to achieve what the client wants. That being said, an upgrade to the HPX250 is a good choice. The AVC-Intra is a great codec to record to.
