How do the annoying MTV shows like Laguna Beach have such deep and rich colors? Is it a certain type of filter that makes seem so "glamorous" or whatever you would call it? Is it just the type of camera that the cameramen use?

Can I ever get a professional look or feel from a Consumer HD Camcorder? I am using the Sony HDR-HC7 and the image quality is amazing. The only problem is that it still looks like a cheesy home movie so far. Are there any lighting techniques or just anything in general that can help me get a good quality, professional, movie look/feel from this camcorder? Another question is what is the main difference between this and a $5,000 HD Prosumer camcorder? How can those camcorders look like an actual movie and mine can't? - or can it? I guess that's the question...
