Sony’s HVR-Z1U Digital HD video camera recorder is just such a camera. It’s the compact and cost-effective machine that bridges the gap between high definition and standard definition video formats.

HDV Work Horse,
My HVR-Z1U has shot hurricane video, tornadoes, lightning, and other storm footage, often in the rain and dust. And, it keeps on going.
The unit prefers mid-range lighting. It can shoot good footage if you give it that.
Sony can improve this unit by adding SDI to output to HDCAM. I’d also like to see true 24P added and maybe variable frame rates.
This camera is just a couple options away from being a professional system.
