Hello, I'm new to the board!
Can someone please stear me in the right direction, I need to buy a new camera and have narrowed it down, but want to make sure I make the right decision.
I shoot a little for an outdoor TV show, they shoot in SD but have HD aspirations. I have a budget of around $2k. I'm looking for a dual purpose camera, one to use for the show, but also use at home filming my kids game and things.
I'm looking at the Sony HVR-A1U, 90% of the time, I'll be shooting in good, outdoor light and probably in SD, or DVCAM, but again, quite possibly in HD by the end of the year or next year.
Is this a good camera for these necessities or should I be looking at something else?
Thanks very much for any help you can provide!
