its a decent camera, but if your not going to get a 3-chip then you don't need to spend that much money. Find a ZR-50 or something in the ZR range for like 500 bucks, then get a wide angle lens (at least .5x) and extra battery, and an external microphone (sick for rail footy) add in tapes and other shit and plan on spending around 800 bucks. it will be soooooo worth it
