pro camcorders panasonic
Which professional video camcorder should I get?
So this summer me and my friends are going to make a lot (like once a week or every 2 weeks) of movies. I have 2 camcorders chosen. They are the Panasonic AG-HMC70U and the Canon XH-A1s 3CCD. The Panasonic is about half the price of the Canon, which means I’d have more money to buy accessories. But I know that being cheap comes back to bite you in the a*s. So if I got the Panasonic (about $1500) I could get a Macbook Pro and build my own computer (which I’ve been planning to do for a long time). The total of those 3 would be about $7500. Or, I could get the Canon (about $3200) and I could only build my computer or get the Macbook Pro. So which should I choose?
a.) Panasonic AG-HMC70U, Macbook Pro, and build my own gaming computer
or
b.) Canon XH-A1s 3CCD and Macbook Pro or build gaming computer
Which camcorder is the better one and which choice is the better deal? Thanks!
There are too many reports and reviews of poor audio with the HCM70

This is not the only one reporting the poor audio issue.
If we only get to choose between the two, then the XHA1 is the winner. The Sony HVR-Z1 or HDR-FX1000 are definitely worth a look…
