(apologies for thread title)
There are now some really interesting options at the $700 or less mark: super detailed AVCHD/H.264 from the Nikon D5200 and Panasonic G6 (ok, maybe body only to hit $700), but also thanks to magic lantern, raw video on the Canon 50D ($400+ 2nd hand?).
Of course raw video is a much more involved work flow, and there's no onboard sound on the 50D, so it's not a like-for-like comparison. But leaving those issues aside and just looking at the quality of the image and the motion, which excites you more? Raw, or one of the recent top-notch AVCHD/H.264 cams?
