Thanks everyone... the Sony FS700 does look great. I'll have a good look at it.

The FS100 is probably as much as I can spend but it would be nice to come in a bit lower than that. Cropping on the Black Magic is the only issue I have with it... great price though! Any DSLRs that could compete? Cheers Cam

Sorted. Thanks David... not sure if it's just a misprint but it was less than $10 000 not $1 000. But thanks for the recommendations.

Ah... I hadn't noticed that. I signed in with my full name Cam Fraser but I think when I first registered I'd used Camf which I usually use without having seen the regulation about full name. I'll try and change it now. Thanks

Hi, I've been reading through lots of topics about various DSLRs or video cameras but I have quite specific needs and I could really do with some more expert views about which camera might come closest. So, in order... It would be nice if it could cost less than $10000... and really, cheaper the better. It needs to take Nikon lenses with or without an adaptor. Possibly most importantly for me, can the crop factor be as close to Super 35mm equivalent as possible (i.e. can my 24mm nikon lens stay as close to 24mm wide and not be cropped down to the equivalent of a 36mm or similar?) I'm quite happy with 1080. I don't need anything higher res. I'm also less concerned about very shallow DOF. Anybody recommend something that would come close to ticking some/all of these boxes? Thanks

Can anybody recommend a tried and tested set up for using 35mm lenses on an XL H1? Anybody had any notable success with this setup? I haven't seen a definitive adapter set up mentioned anywhere yet. Cheers and thanks in advance.

If this is the case... and for my particular purpose the native hdv output is a big plus... what, if anything, can be done in post to try and increase the film look?
