I´m going to start filming my own scripts like in movie style and stuff, as well as some music videos. I´d like to buy something professional under 1000 dollars or so that will allow me to shoot moving scenes such as ones in a car or a motorcycle at a high quality, and other moving scenes. I´d like for it to be HD and for me to be able to adjust different lenses into it (filter ring). I´d like for it to be 3CCD and have most of its functions to be manual, as well for it to have a good optical zoom. Manual focus and Manual Iris.
I´ve been looking at HV30, HV20, and also at HVR1000U, HVR-A1U, and XH A1s, but some of them are far too expensive for my budget. Perhaps anyone can give me some advice on which professional prosumer camcorder to buy in order to fulfill my requirements. What I´m looking at in a prosumer camcorder MOSTLY is HD quality, and quality of image in most types of light settings, and anything that will give the prosumer camcorder image quality in different settings.
