CAMERAS

 

Canon Elero - lightweight, easy to carry video camera with flip out screen

Panasonic DVX-100 - relatively lightweight mini-DV camera with the ability to shoot in 24p. Includes flip out view screen and can be connected to monitors, microphones and other accessories

Canon XL2 - mini-DV camera with the ability to shoot 24p that makes up for its heavy weight and lack of a flip out screen with the 20x telescopic lens that allows you to shoot from great distances. Due to the camera's weight, must be checked out with Bolle tripod
