cinematography Prosumer Rig

[jayelowe]

Hey gang, I need to pick up a prosumer rig for under 3k. Any suggestions? Tech specs are fluid so I'll take any ideas at this point. Thanks

You need a camera and accessories? Nothing new there! Why don't you look through some of the threads on the subject?

Good point! My bad.

It would help quite a bit if we knew what your intended use(s) is/are.

Should be able to get a used HVX200a in that price range now. People try to price them higher, but that's about what one is worth (with a couple of P2 cards and maybe an extra battery).

You're welcome.

Butt you shouldn't feed the wildlife. It only makes them more life-y!

Canon XF305

The XF100 comes in at just under $3000 new and should match quite nicely with the XF305.

You, sir, are the man! This looks like it'll do. I'll see if I can test drive it ASAP. Thanks!!
