Best Prosumer HD Camera

[Shane Ross]

Prosumer cameras are in the $2000-$8000 range. $1000 is a consumer level camera.

How about the Canon 60P DSLR camera?

Sorry Shane. I’m not seeing exactly which camera this is on a google search. Is there any other info (like model number)?
Thanks,
Trev.

Looks like the T2i might be in his budget.

The 60D is as much, but has more features. I’m irked that I got my T2i opposed to this.

If you are looking for Video cameras, have a look to the PANASONIC TM700 (3 CMOS).
Another option is the Canon Vixia HF-100 (Lexia HF-100 in Pal-land).

60D is more expensive… well certainly in the UK. I have a T2i and its awesome. Good debate to be had here actually, I mean, in terms of image quality, the T2i is easily as good as some 4grand cameras…. yes yes yes i KNOW there are many disadvantages with DSLRs but Im talking abut video quality… I dunno why theyre considered consumer… I mean the 7D for example, is a pro/semipro stills camera. I would easily consider it on a par with a “prosumer” video camera…

I’ll chip in a suggestion for the Panasonic GH2, or GH1 with hacked firmware. 24p 1080 in the case of the GH1. Stunning quality.

DSLRs ar that, nothing to do with a video camera Pro or Prosumer camera.
DSLRs are a great complement for a video maker and can works great for certain jobs, but lets don’t mix concepts.
You buy a Prosumer camera and a laptop, and you have a production company ready to go.
You buy a DSLR and a laptop, and you are a photographer.
