There is a consumer model made by Sony that's like 1,200.00 that a well known Solo girl network shoots with. Among others that's I've heard of, that use it as well.
If you were shooting for DVD's then may need top of the line, but for web work I think some of the lower end cameras will work fine.
If I'm not mistaken I think it's this one.. (shoots in MiniDV but also has a DVD and hard drive model)
