Thanks for all the info! I will definitely check out those two places--appreciate the help!

I'd like to buy an HVX but I'm not sure the best route to go. For those of you who have bought the camera, where did you buy it? Would you recommend buying it used or new? Are there any particular websites that you can vouch for? I live in the Los Angeles area, so if you know any local dealers who are reliable, that would be helpful as well. Would like to purchase it for a shoot at the end of September.

I'm currently in pre-production for a student film and we are looking at a lot of different stocks... I'm especially interested in the Kodak 7217 (or in 35mm, 5217) and the Fuji 8653 (35mm 8553)--has anyone here shot with these stocks? I would love to know about any differences between these stocks in terms of color, grain, contrast or whatever else you may have noticed. Thanks!

I'm shooting a project next weekend and need to choose a stock. I'd be shooting at a fairly low f-stop, since it's indoors and I don't have access to too many lights. I'd like to have as much color saturation as possible, and I don't care too much about graininess. Someone posted earlier that the Vision2 stocks (ie 7218) have lower saturation than the older Vision stocks (ie. 7279). Is this a very noticable difference? What are the other differences? This is for a class, so I'm going to experiment with some special processing, since I'm not the one paying for it. :) I'd like to overexpose by one stop and print down. On the camera report, should I write "print down", "print down one stop", or is there different terminology altogether?
