I was wondering what the lowest price xdcam preferably using sxs cards that has no rolling shutter or flash banding.

Thanks

Of the current models it would be the F55.

The next lowest price is the PDW700 but that is disk based XDCam.

PMW500 if you can find one.

It shows available on the B&H website.

When you bring up this one, it lists the camera as discontinued so I wasn't sure...

I suspect they are all discontinued and will be gone soon.

I have had Sony PMW500 since it was first introduced into Australia, In fact I was the first to purchase here, so I was told.... I purchased this camera as I like the look of the CCD block vs CMOS and of course with CCD's there is no rolling shutter. It seems strange the the B&H website has this item as discontinued as this has been like that for some time now and I'm sure one can still purchase the PMW500?
