My long time favourite has been the HV40, and before that the Sony HVR-A1E/U. Now I'm leaning towards the HFG10.Quote:

Used HV40s can be had for around that price. Or a used HFS10. Both great.
I think the G10 is the best in the price range.
Also keep a lookout for the Canon HV30 its pretty much the same camera as the HV40 minus a few minor features, they tend to sell for half the price of the HV40 on ebay. I love canon and would say that any of their HD range with both firewire and HDMI outs is a good option, but yeah the HV30 is the most 'bang for your buck' I think you say?Quote:

the HV 30 and 40 are both great cameras. Spencer from the bald truth has one as a secondary shot and it looks great
How are you guys connecting the cameras to the comptuer?
on the HV30 I connect via both firewire (for the live stream) and HDMI (for full 1080i capture via BM intensity pro)Quote:
