What is the best camcorder buy for good amateur documentary?

Q. If I buy the AG-DVC30 with the equipament, it will go almost $3000.

If I buy the DVX100b, with the same equipament (subtract the XLR adapter) it will cost $4500 with shipping.

The Sony DSR-PD170 with all equipaments (less the XLR adapter) goes $3900

All the equipament with the JVC GR-HD1, goes 2700, but somesay this camera sucks.

The sony DCR-VX2100, goes $3500 with all too.

The GL2 goes with all equipament almost $3300.


The acessories is UV filter, NTG-2 mic, XlR adapter if needs it, good XLR cable, extra better battery, cleaning cassete.

You know the better option?

A. Like I said, go with the GL2 or DVX100b (or actually the dvx100a or dvx100's are cheaper, but the B revision is newer, and overall better). And dont go with any internal HD cams (like the above mentioned JVC cam). Unless they are HDV mpeg-2 compression (which i doubt), theres a new type of technology called avchd which allows HD recording on DVD cams and HDD cams, but from what I've heard, they suck (compared to HDV), so stick with that. Hope this helps!


What is the cheapest but high quality prosumer camcorder?
Q. I have been researching high end camcorders, such as the XL2 and the DVX100B, however, they're both too expensive for my monetary situation. Does anyone know of a camcorder that is more frugal that also offers similar functions as the aforementioned camcorders, and not that Sony HVR-1000U?

A. The least expensive cameras that would qualify would also have a mic-in jack, full manual control of the major functions (audio level, zoom, exposure, focus) and use miniDV tapes:

Canon HV20, HV30
Sony HDR-HC7, HC9

For using pro-grade (XLR) mics with the 1/8" mic jack, you will need an XLR adapter like those from BeachTek or juicedLink.

Also, from the Sony pro line, take a look at the Sony HVR-A1U. It is the "pro" version of the HDR-HC1 from a couple of years ago (but the A1U has a lot more functionality than the HC1), plus it has XLR mic jacks for pro-grade mics. It is more than the HVR1000U, but less than the XL2 or DVX100B... and the A1U will do high definition AND standard definition the XL2 and 100B are standard definition only). The A1U will not behave quite as well as the XL2 or 100B in extremely low light - but it is not so bad, either.
