Folks,
Does anyone know of a store that carries high end video cameras.

We’re looking at upgrading to HD, but would like to get our hands on a few cameras for a play rather than just rely on a spec sheet.

Short list includes the Canon XL-H1, the JVC HD111 and on top the Sony EX3.

Anyone that can point us to somewhere north of the border would be great. Seem London really is the centre of the universe...

I dont want to look, I want to feel. Looking has produced the short list, feeling will decide which one I hand over my hard earned for.

I'm not handing over the cash based on a picture and a spec sheet.

I agree - I fancied an xlh1 - not that I could have really afforded it - untill I hetfted one for a friend for a shoot - next day my arm was dam sore. It doesnt bother many people i know but I found it sooo front heavy.

My jvc balances just right.
