Hi!

We have a project of shooting a short movie and don't really know which
video cam to choose.

Our goal is to get a result close to the 16mm/B&W images of a movie such
as "Tetsuo"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096251/

First, our idea was to buy a Panasonic AG-DVX100 that seems to be widely
praised among digital filmmakers who want to get a "cine-look" (even if,
unless I'm wrong, movies such as "28 Days" have been shot on Canon).

Now we're wondering if there's no other choice. To your opinion, what's
best considering the result we want to obtain and our diffision goal (we
hope to submit the short movie to some festivals)?

What about HD cams, such as Panasonic HVX-200, or even Sony HVR-Z1E
(even though people seem to have mixed opinions about HDV)?

Thanks for help and advices.
Larry
