  • Canon XL 1
    Popular for its interchangable lenses and unusual design. No longer in production, but available used.

    Many pro features in this JVC camera which has three 1/2" Sony CCDs. No longer in production.

  • Sony VX 1000
    The camera that started the DV revolution.

  • Sony VX-2000
    Replaced the VX1000, this time with superior low light performance.

    HDV or High Definition

    HDV, excellent in low light. Some call it the HDV VX 1000.

  • Sony HVR-Z1U HDV
    The pro version of the FX1.

    Just one chip, but this was the first HDV camcorder.
