Prosumer Camcorders Under 1000
Looking for an HD camcorder with an XLR port for less than $ 1000? Does it exist or should I go prosumer?
I am a recent graduate a program of film production and am looking to buy a video camera under $ 1,000 to put together some basic Latest News for a non-for-profit organization. The video quality should not be terrible, I do not need a ton of manual options. But I want to be able to record a microphone that is not built into the camera for recording interviews clear, so I'd like a camera with an XLR port. I also prefer a device with an internal drive rather than tape. Can you help me recommend a camera? Thank you for your time, Daniel

To get HDV stored on a hard drive is usually through an external hard drive (as Focus Enhancements' FireStore series) connected to a camcorder with FireWire – usually a miniDV tape based camcorder. In prosumer "Environment high definition, this means that (at least by my definition), the Sony HDR-FX1, HDR-FX1000 HDR-FX7. All are 1 / 8 "(3.5mm) stereo audio-in … which means an XLR adapter. There is no disk drive prosumer. XLR appears first in the software previously cited Sony HVR-A1U. The HVR-Z1U, Z5U, Z7U and V1U circle line Pro HDV Sony.
