I'm thinking about getting a good camera and was wondering if any of you guys could suggest good models.

for most people on here a dvx isnt exactly a budget camera.. for most people a budget camera is probably one of the lower gs models.

If you're looking to buy something in the lower price range check out the panasonic pv-gs 85 and the 320. They're both great cameras for the price.

haha yeah i'm sure 2,500 is "on a budget"

if you can sack up 1,000 bills then you can get a VX1 with a nice fish eye / wide angle.

i totally agree with holding off on the HDV cameras, unless you have a lot of bills to throw around aimlessly. its hard to buy a camera thats not going to be out of date in a year, such as the shitty HD cameras coming out now. the GLs and VXs have always been good choices. i would hold off on the HD stuff for a little while though, i bet theyll figure all that stuff out in time though.
