Thinking of selling HV30 + acc, what do u think?

[wjclark]

I have an HV30 probably less than a year old with a Pearstone wide angle lens. I also have an Azden wireless lav mic (15BT & 105UPR) ...

I have two battery packs .. One that came with the camera and the other the Canon E160814 ...

Im trying to decide if I should keep it as a B-Roll or get rid of it ...

Any ideas on what I could get for this kind of setup ?

Keep it as a b-roll. You never know if you don't need one.

What sort of things do you shoot?

Right now video tours and short adverts ... I want to get into weddings and more higher end stuff ...

if you aim to do wedding videos etc, youlle do well to keep it, youlle always want a second camera locked off somewhere, its more than good enough for that, if i was doing wedding videos id probably only use hv's, unless your doing broadcast, its pointless spending more money in my opinion.

even then, ive used a hv30 for countless tv shows and ads, nobody ever questions the quality.

get fcp & neat video, and a powerful enough machine to run it, thats how id spend.

Thanks for the tips .... I think I will hold on to it then ....
