Hi,

I was wondering whether buying a slightly cheaper camcorder and spending money on a nice 35mm lense adapter would create a better short-film look than just getting an HVX200 or something within that price range?

I'm alright with comp/lighting/sound, and am getting a more powerfull PC for editing, but would like a nice DOP and the best hdv I can get with £3000 ($4500). Do I stretch for a HVX200/similar or try and get the best out of a cheaper model, (XH-A1\S-HVR-V1u) with a good 35mm adapter maybe?

Thanks in advance for any comments - very good site.
