anyone have any recommendations? I *think* i've got a girl who's going to do some work, I don't really have a good video camera. anyone have a good one that does decent audio too, doesn't pick up any hum from the cam? something reasonable? (under 2k)

I know its a little over your budget but a few camera jockies I know recommend:

Waay more expensive...

thanks trev, the first one looks good, would really rather spend around a grand though because I will probably buy 2 cams to shoot at different angles and stuff.

if anyones used anything around 1k that they really liked lmk. i mean, dont need anything super hi-def, will be compressing the video anyway right so who cares.

Panasonic also do one for $1350

JVC do some very cheap but quality cameras as well (I'm on the phone to my guy in the know lol)

Spend the money on the new Sony HD digital camera!
