Have you concidered the Panasonic AG-DVX100? It is an excellent camera, being used quite a bit in production lately, and has excellent progressive scan support. In the same price range, I've seen 'em go for as low as $3K.. Also the very keen thing, it will shoot in 24p. I know it doesn't help narrow things down, but it's well worth checkint out.

thanx for your suggestion, gonna check the AG-DVX100 right now ;)

in fact i need a good 3ccd and i want a clean picture (cause the camera i'm actually working is not the proper one for that kind of work..)

thanx again :thumbsup:

Then you MOST definitely want the DVX100 camera.

Progressive scan 24p modes, very professional quality.

I have 2 of them. They are fantastic.

A good forum for the DVX100 is at www.dvxuser.com
