I've been searching and saving for a decent budget camcorder for a while now. My budget is around about £1000.
The Internet loves the DVX100a/b models. But I can't help feeling it might be getting older now... Even when I search on Indie Talk for "dvx100" most of the posts are at least a year or two old now.
The lack of HD isn't a massive problem for me as the features to shoot a scene really overpower the need for a few extra pixels.
The sound options are great. I have good quality microphones and the fact that the camera has XLR ports is something of a god send.
As far as lenses go I've seen adapters for the dvx100 so I can get (cheap) 35mm+ lenses to attach to the camera.
I'm posting out of the night-before nerves really as I've now saved up enough money and am going to purchase one in the next few weeks when a good deal appears on eBay.
Out of the hundreds of cameras I've looked out (couldn't remember the names of many now tbh) the dvx100 always stood a head and shoulders above the rest for my price range. But I just wanna check really that I haven't missed a diamond in the rough. So are there any cameras for my price range which you guys think are better than the DVX100a/b?
Cheers, Sam
