    Most newish smart-phones these days have 720p video cameras built in, Apple's iPhone and HTC's Desire are two examples, using one of these will save you carrying around a separate camera. The quality is as good as any camera out there.

      Seems that a DSLRs (and DSLR lenses) are good enough for mainstream broadcast TV:

      Don't understand your point about image stabilisation either. Most HD video-capable DLRS now have IS either in the body or in the lenses.

      Suggest OP has a look at www.dpreview.com and checks out the video capabilities of various cameras.

          Monster movie out this week was shot on a 5D. Haven't seen it yet but supposed to be good.

          Personally, being a contractor, I'd just go out and buy a Red.

            I laughed so hard you owe me a new pair of pants.
            While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
