Hello everyone,
I've been using a Canon ZR 80 and looking to upgrade to a "prosumer" camera in the $700-1,000 range for independent films. I've been looking at the Canon HV40. However, I think I might want to go for something that uses flash or HD. Should I get the HV40? If not, what would be its closest flash or HD equivalent? Would you recommend something else altogether? I was lucky enough to get free lighting from a relative who used to do film production, so additional expense in that area is not an issue. Also, the camera should have a mic input. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
