Yeah, i know, lot of folks have beeing asking the same question but this is a little diferent becouse i live in and 3th world country.
If the amount of money was in my currency i could buy it but the 1 USD is like 2.38 BRL(Brazilian Real) so a US$2.500 camera is almost R$6.000 so i need to find the most unexpensive prosumer camera. Since here is brasil every consumer miniDV cam is more then R$1.000,00 i expect to pay something like US$600 but no more then US$ 1.100,00.
This consumers handcams are anygood for producing a short with at least 590 horizontal lines ? whats the real problem with this cams beside the lack of manual settings and the "hollyday video"(that i didnt got what is the problem.. the quality or the controls).

If im redoing an aswared question please point the link or some word that i can find the post.
Thanx anyway.

Brazilian cinema should be a copy of the hollywood model with our history or sell misery as a country characteristic. FORA GLOBO FILMES !!!!!!!
