Shoot with a Panasonic HVX-200, I can shoot in MANY different modes. We shoot from SD to HD for clients. However Shooting HD (not HDV) requiers a bit more then just a cheamp computer and Premier 6.5 you might want to get capture cards or a deck (to transfer to tape) in order to get everything where you want it to be. Then the next thing your client will do is downconvert it for the web because he doesn't like the big file sizes.
Shooting in HD is great and it looks awesome, get some good filters etc and the "pimpel problem shouldn't be as bad anymore either, The Panasonic HVX-200 let's me shoot straight on to a P2 card or an external HD called a FireStore. No more capturing, no more dropped frames and winning a lot of time. You will need a deck to make HD tape back ups tho. Or external HD's.
If you list it all out and you want to shoot real HD (not HDV) then it can be costly and most people here will say that it is over the top for porn.
Panny HVX-200 about $5k
Capture card about $2k
P2 cards, 8 gig $900.00 at the end of the month. (the 16 gig is coming)
FirStore external HD capture drive, close to $2k
And that's just the stuff you NEED, if you want to get some extra flashy stuff to make it all extra neat you will be out a lot more.
I personally love it all, then again I am a geek like that.
