Torrey,
If you shoot in HDV 24F or 30F the best priced deck solution is an HV20 camera. If you shoot in HDV 60i only.... then you can get a Sony deck.

This is a frequently asked question around here...

-- Any Sony HDV deck will play back Canon 1080i60 video, but not Canon Frame mode video. Currently these decks are the Sony M15U / M25U / HVR-1500.

-- Any Canon HDV camcorder will play back all Canon video including Canon Frame mode video. Currently these camcorders are the HV10 and HV20 models.
