If you could only have one camera for the next 2 years what would you use? Something out now. Not a camera that is going to be out later this year or next year..

I already have it: My optura 30 is awesome!

However if this is a contest & the first person to respond wins a currently for sale camera You can send me a Pal XL2 with the 16x manual lens :)

My reasoning is that has 25p 16x9 & at 576 lines it is pretty close to 720p & probably better than de-interlaced ZR1 1080i. This would be for Indie Film production.

For News/Sports I would totally choose the ZR1 cause interlaced is fine & having both NTSC & Pal would be cool for the traveling videographer.
