Make sure you can get a decent wide angle convertor for the camera you decide on.

There are bargains to be had in the prosumer sd market at the moment as lots of people are going hdv. I love by big old clunky shoulder mount vx9000e, lots of lovely and easy to use manual controls.

Check out e bay for big sd cameras if they float your boat.
