thanks jkmb - thats about right. 2 P&S cams, or my fx100 plus maybe an Aiptek or sanyo Xacti HD camcorder. i have an older canon mini DV camcorder, but my little panny in 720 mode blows it away, so i want to work in HD (720).
the comment about sensor size confuses me a bit - my panny has a 1/1.7" sensor, while most video cams, even $1000 HD ones, are only like 1/3" sensors (some have 3 - 1/5" sensors). are you saying the larger sensor is a problem? the new version, the FX150 will do 720 at 24fps.
