Which camera to buy?

D

I know this question probably gets asked often, but I would like some advice on which miniDV I should buy. The camera's I am looking at are the following:

Canon XL2
Sony HVR-Z1U HDV
Pannasonic AGDVX100AP

Now it will get used alot for shorts etc... and I want the camera to last me a good while...I am leaning towards HD simply because it seems like it will be the next format of choice, and I don't want to have to purchase another camera in a year or so. 24p is pretty much a requirement, as I want to emulate film without post techniques...

Anyone with experience with any or all of these cameras able to offer insight would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks everyone!
Matt

I have been shooting on the DVX100 for two years and I can't be more happy with its performance. I'm glad you said the new HD 'upgrade' so to speak is just as good. I have to say I have not been happy with the other HD Minis out there. The JVC is horrible. 1 chip HD? Kinda like a Yugo with a 8 cylinder engine.. no?
