Bigger doesn't mean better with the video camera. From what I can surmise it's just their top end consumer bits shoved into a pro case. The HV20 / HV30 / HV40 outperforms it. My preferences is still those if we can find availability. I'm sure the HVR-HD1000P will still be much better than the cameras we currently have, but no use paying more for it than the HVx0 models.<br>
<br>I may not be able to mumble tomorrow (well today / Friday) evening - i'll be on if I'm home.<br><br>Sorry I'm flat out with a project atm and don't have time to ring around places to find availability on the cameras tomorrow - perhaps next week.<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
So $2,508 came into our account tonight! We're ready to purchase the
next items.<br>
<br>
We said about getting the two cameras next, which we had selected
the Canon HV40 (now out of stock from Camera Warehouse at $1219
each). There are other vendors, but I wonder if this model is as
good as what we could get at this price.<br>
<br>
Looking around at other models, there's a semi-professional Sony
HVR-HD1000P for $1327.<br>

<br>
Anyone got some time to mumble tomorrow evening on this? Say,
7:30pm? Comments and suggestions welcome!<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
