At the end of the day, if you got something that works for you then go with what you can.
I have a panasonic DVCpro 25, and a Canon 3CC camera and both of them do pretty good. Its a matter of how you use them. I edit using premiere pro and after effects if needed, my PC is pent4 2 gig memory and I use a Firebird cature card that allows to see in realtime all the effects.

It took me awhile to get to this point tho, and I had to start with borrowing gear and hire some gear. I got some lights off trade me and other deals from other people who up grading, and made the most of what I have. I believe it turns you into a better operator as you have to get what you can with very little.

Thats my opinion anyway.
Thanks for all the feed back, any comment is considered
