Today I suggest we skip any non-HD camcorder for such work. If you are creating stuff for you, then use what you want but I don't see 480 line displays at the places that consume or create content anymore. And yes, this is royally upsetting to many old school folk.

Hello everyone! I'm getting back into film after a 7 year hiatus.
I used to shoot with a Canon GL2 back in the good ol' days.
Picked up a Sony A65 a few weeks ago and been absolutely impressed with the quality and results. I want to pick up a new video camera and am interested in the HVR-Z7U. My only concern is that it's a couple years old, is a new professional grade camera coming out soon with Sony?
I will be traveling and filming documentary type video with this camera. Looking for something small-er with interchangeable lenses.
Any suggestions & information would be greatly appreciated.
