I got a mini dv...those seem to be pretty good to make independent films on, and are pretty cheap.

How much did you pay for it?

Mine was about $550, on sale. But there are all different kinds at all different prices.

I think I'm going to buy a Panasonic GS400, it's around 1200$ I think.
If you haven't bought yet, you may want to think about spending a few hundred more on teh DVC 30.

It has some useful functions over its smaller sibling and I think better CCD's. It is listed on Panasonic's page as a $2500 camera, but list price is ALWAYS high on that site. CHeck the net for the real selling price and I think you'll be surprised.
If you did already buy, that little 3CCD is a good camera, I just wanted to give you your options. Oh, and stay away fromt eh DVC7 unless you hear some great reviews. I have the DVC 10 and like it a lot, but it has 3 chips. They improved and made the DVC15, then they dropped it down to a one chip camera and made the DVC7 for event video and stuff like that. It looks but, but with one chip I wouldn't trust the picture unless I've seen an example of it.
