Hi,

I am in the UK, and am looking for a video camera that is broadcast quality, or at least will hold up to broadcasting, with three CCDs, at a reasonable cost. I made a number of films (16mm) in the 80s and 90s, but am looking to get back into making both documentaries and narrative features. Will any of the following cameras produce a very good result, or can you think of any others below £1500, or should I wait until I have the money for something like an XL-2?

The ones I have looked at so far are...

Sony HDR-HC3e and HC1

Panasonic GS500

JVC Everio

Are these great cameras or almost great? Others?

Help!
