Any consumer HDV cameras with 720p 50 Hz
Hi!
I know this is not a hardware forum but I thought that among all editing people there might be some that knows a little about the camera market.
I’m eager to jump on the HDV train but as a hobbyist and “low budget” person the only cameras I found affordable for me, living in PAL-land”, are the Sony cams HDR-HC3E and HDR-HC1E.
However, both of them shoot in 1080i and I definately want to leave the interlaced world behind me and shoot in 720p.
Are there any cams available in the sub 2500$ that shoots progressive?
Do anyone know if there are any models soon to come?/Jocke

JVC 720P camcorders can be used for HDV in Europe, but there are no 576 PAL functions on them

What models do they have?
I searched the net but all I found was the GY-HD100 (and variants) which has a price tag far beyond my reach, and GR-HD1US which is still a little too expensive./Jocke

You gave a figure of $2500, usually the HD1 goes for $1500-$1600US street price, is that $2500 you quoted $AU?

Hi Blast!
No it was US$ I ment. The site I found quoted 3500 US$ as suggested retail price for the HD1, therefore my response, but if you can get it for 1600 US$ it is definately an interesting product for me. I’ll take a more thorough look for retailers selling that model.Thanks very much.
