Scenic question

Without trying to start any format wars. Could someone recomend a good HDV camera for shooting wide shot scenery? I am looking to shoot everything from skyscrapers to mountains to streams with lots of fast running water and shots of tree covered hills with leaves blowing in the breeze. As well, a 'sunrise to sunset' camera....not looking to shoot at night other than an occasional moon shot.

Thanks ahead of time

There are so many sites, forums, and lists that have so many comparisons of the main HDV (and HVX200) contenders. Any of us
could probably give you our personal favorites. A couple of things though: Some cameras *only* do progressive in HDV (the JVC HD100),
the upcoming HD200 will do 60P as well as 24 and 30P. Some do native interlaced and fake progressive (the Canon and the SONY).
What's the final use? The Panasonic needs a long-term storage strategy because you'll be shooting to P2 cards or a Firestore, CitiDisk, or other drive
that you'll need to download from.

From what I've read so far, all the cameras are a lot closer than far apart in features and image. Sure someone will tell you that the HVX200
is better because of its DVCPro100 codec, or that the Canon seems to win the technical resolution contest, but when you look at the images
from all the cameras side-by-side, there isn't a lot of difference. My choice? The JVC, but mostly because it's a shoulder mount style that I'm used to.
I like the interchangeable lens too (the Canon has that as well).

I think you will be very happy with any of the HDV cams that shoot native 16:9---I have shot plenty of stunning landscapes with my lowly X1U
