[Chris Tompkins]

Mini DV is SD. Do you mean a HDV cameras?
Don’t bother, it’s end of life stuff.

Look into HD cams that record to SD cards.
Panny HCM series comes to mind.

most of the work has to be delivered as soon as I finish on Mini DV, no time for transfers at all, and my budget is 3,200 dls
I need it from TV advertisements, corporate videos, private events, sports, stock video, among others.

Try an old Panasonic DVX100- that’s about state of the art mini DV, well circa 2002 anyways. These days HD is where it’s at. And 3200 is more than enough to buy 2 or 3 used DV cameras.

I’d grab an old FX1 off of ebay for less than a grand, man.

thanks for the advice, I will study that posibility

I’m convinced by your point that if a MiniD HDV camera it’s already old technology why buying a new one, so I have been looking for those HDR-FX1 but I have not found a good price yet (and full working camera)
