I am looking to purchase a Sony V1U within the end of next month; I am just looking to get a little more feedback on this camera before I purchase.
I will be shooting some indie films - in HD - as well as some other video projects such as music videos/live performances, skate videos, podcasts...etc.
This camera has a few different features that have drawn me in. 1st, it shoots in true 1920x1080. Also, its weight and compact size. I heard it has decent pre-amps for the mic pickups (although I will be using an external recorder as well).
Because money is an object, I will also break that down too. I found the camera for $3050 plus a $300 Sony manufacturer mail in rebate. This is the general price range I am in.
Any feedback - positive or negative - would be fantastic. I have read many reviews, but you guys are the true reviewers.
