I Actually already have a High definition Camera, a Sony HVR-HD100E, as It was really cheap for me to buy at the time, It didn’t matter that it didn’t have XLR ports, however, now, more and more It seems that I need them.
Plus, I always ask customers if they want me to shoot on HD Tapes or on SD Tapes. About 99 out of a 100 times it’s SD, due to the cost increase on the workload for downloading and editing HD, and the cost for HD Tapes.
An SD Camera is much easier and I will have two cameras, plus the DVX-100B is much, much smaller than my sony!
