looking at buyin a new camera for the upcoming season. i would like to get a bit more aggressive in getting shots and putting stuff on film. does anybody have any opinions on what camera, be it a still cam or video that would best suffice for a intermediate photographer??

the dvx is sick, but not an intermidiate camera, first off, what is your price range/which would you prefer, still or video, sub 1000 you can get a great DLR and start collecting lens etc. and have a sick set up, if your looking for video, either try to find an older but quality 3 chip, like the vx1000, if you want a new camera, look for a top of the line single chip over a bottom of the line three chip

you almost need to narrow your price range...a 3k camera will put a 1500 camera to shame.
