Just dropped $700 at B&H and I expect the following to show up by Wednesday:
First of all, a brand new Canon HV20. Well, not brand new—I bought a used one so I'd save a couple bucks (good idea when buying from a reputable vendor such as B&H). With that I purchased 2 HD Tapes, an extra battery (crucial), and a 4 GB MiniSD card...I'm not sure what I need it for, but $20 for 4 GBs was just too tempting.
The next thing on my list, which I might just go ahead and pick up is a 43mm wide angle lens for the HV20. In my less-than-professional opinion, a wide angle lens is just superior. I've never used one but I can imagine achieving a much more professional look and feel with one.

That footage that you (maybe someone else?) shot with the HV20 is amazing. I have watched it a few times now. I am an artist/beginning film maker as well right now and am stunned by what it can do for the price that it is. I wish I had one...but at this point I don't have the guts to buy one and make a film...I'm just making art with a 1ccd dv camera right now but filmmaking and acting is my real passion. Keep it up.
Speaking of shooting with the Canon HV20, I just posted a clip from the Amps Against Apathy show that you filmed for me.
Check it out!
