hi

thank you for the reply. Being an amatour and willing to see if I have some inner talent, I was planning to get a better camera (I own an analogue SONY CCD-TRV99E Hi8 which at the time was a great product) and give a more serious try.
I could buy a 1CCD consumer product for few hundreds euro (I am in Europe) but I will not get much better then what I have now, sure DV is better then hi8-DV converter but TRV is really a nice product.
Usually when I invest in such type of equipment i want to get something that will last without splashing in latest top-of-the-shelf products.
I could go for a nice SONY DCR-SR290E (1/3 CCD) for 800euro or a similar model. But I am very tempted to make a quantum leap step (for me) and move directly to the DVX100BE (around 2000euro).
I read so much about it that I start to be convinced it is the best gear in that price level, even compared to some others as Canon LX etc.
I might find myself one day to pursue a new carrer in the filmmaking industry having some experience with a well know equipment or I might forget the whole thing and still be able to resell the DVX 🙂

Any thoughts ?
THX for your time.

Any suggestion ?

Hi,

I was looking to that company as well. I’ve found positive feedbacks about them, you can also buy an extra MACK warranty to feel safer.
