I'm buying a cam so that i can make student films for school and to help get into a better school. I'm also needing it to shoot local band's live shows to make money on the side. I'm looking at the JVC GR-HD1 mainly. Is this a cam some of you pro. and indie filmmahers would recommend or should i go with a 3 CCD cam. What are the common probs with the JVC.
don't get that camera. it sucks. get a 3CCD camera instead.

I have almost always used JVC cameras. I used the GY-DV5000 on many features. The GR-HD1 is not a good camera. However, their new one, the HD100U ?url? http://pro.jvc.com/prof/Attributes/features.jsp?feature_id=01&tree=&itempath=&model_id=MDL101539?/url? is a great camera. I just finished a feature shot with that camera.

What are the probs with the GR-hd1 I can't afford that newer JVC so what else would you recommend. what about the or GL2 the Panasonic line of 3 ccds.
the 24 fps panasonic camera is great.
if you insist on HD, there's that new consumer SONY HD cam.

The new HD cam mentioned above is supposed to be good but you need to keep in mind that it is only 1 CCD not 3CCD. Color Quality will not be nearly as good as the 3 CCD Cameras. Personally, I have two Sony VX 2100's and love them.

Yeah, I thouhgt about the Sony VX2100. The prob. with it is that it dosen't have 24fps and no xlrs. I no i can get an xlr adapt. to solve that prob. My price range is about $2000. Also I'd like to thank all you that are nice enuff to help out wiht your comments.
get the panasonic dvx 100a...its about 2,500$. And the footage looks very similar to a real fiml camera. For more info you can go to dvxuser.com.
