I want to upgrade from sony hd1000, something with more manual control, also one of the problems for me is that I find it very hard to focus manually, so also something that is easier to focus manually as well.
Up to £3000 price range, any suggestions.

jvc HD200!

I know its older than the HD1k but the Z1 will give you great manual control (inc focus), much better quality optics & audio, and if you find a good deal it'll come in around £3k inc vat...

Buy a new v1u dude!
