media and arts thread....but i heard the canon is nice. theres no need to get a hd camera is you dont have the computer/memory space to edit it.

gl2. or another sweet camera in that price range, actually a lil cheaper I think, the panasonic dvc30 is pretty dope. probably the best value 3ccd I've seen.

you kidding? thats not even remotely in that price range, plus i doubt he needs something of that quality. I'd say depending on your goals you would probably want to just stick with SD cameras. If you plan on releasing movies later i'd say wait out for the HD technology to get better and just pick up a middle-end-3ccd SD camera, maybe something like the gs500. If you're just gunna be making edits to put on the internet go with the gl2. For that price you might also want to check out the panny dvc30 and the vx2100. the 2100 is a bit more but very nice. Another one is the dvx100, a bit more than the 2100 but better, definitely the best SD camera in that range.
