I have a Sony Z1 and Sony HDR-HC1 which I use for under water filming.
Now I know maybe this is not the place to ask about which is the best camera if I want to step up a little.
I have a very good work flow now with Cineform... but would like to improve more on my images and their acquisition. Can anyone make any suggestions for upgrade please.
Thanks

P2 is good maybe look into AVCHD cameras.

Need more info first ... are you happy with the size of the Z1, and with 1/3" sensors? Approximate maximum budget you could afford for the upgrade?

HI Graham.
Yes I like the size of the Z1 and to be honest have only used Sony cameras so I don't know much about others on the market. My budget is around 10,000 dollars.
I do use 35mm lenses on my Z1 with a rail system when needed.
I do need to be able to shoot in PAL and NTSC.

I am looking at the PMW-EX3 and tapless work flow.
Is it still worth using the Cineform product when I am tapless??
