It's a step down in quality from some of the cameras mentioned, but I'd like to know more about the Sony HD1000 that rests on the shoulder. Particularly with a Beachtek DXA Phantom power adapter for XLR mics and a wide angle adapter (probably .70). Funny thing is that they are touted as good for wedding and event videographers who want to "look pro" but little is said about the look of their hand-held shooting over the course of a day. The price is right as the camera itself sells for $1,900 now. Stan Hirson http://hestakaup.com
