I'm about to buy one of these Camcorders for independent filmmaking. The Panasonic seems to be the best in DV and the the Sony the best in HighDef. All I want is the best film look I could get before software. But also I don't want to spend my money in something that in the near future won't be of any use (if that is the case for DV cams). Please take into account that I live in Argentina and these are the only two options I have. Canon and others have no official service here. Another thing is you won't find HD projetors here in Argentina. Still, the Sony I think is the best option because I can always shoot in DV until HiDef gets more standard. What do you guys think? The Panasonic is 3800 and the Sony is 5000.- Thanks.
