One thing that people seem to be missing is the quality of lens. You can pick up a HDV cam for around $1000-$2000 but you lack the 3ccd lenses. That's where a lot of people go wrong. You sacrifice the quality. Sony's HDR-FX1 has both, and it will shoot HD or DV. You can shoot either or, depending on your consumer/client. I'm having to sell my GL2 so that I can pick up the extra work, and I'm ok with that.
And there is such thing as over doing it, if you got the $8,000 or so to pick up the Pani, then great, but most producers in "pornland" don't have that budget, at least not this guy. $3,500 is much easier to come up with than $7-$8 grand. That extra $$ can be put to locations, backdrops, better quality talent, accessories, etc.
Just my little input....
