what i can afford... need opinions!!!

dvc62e http://www.videoguys.com.au/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=1370
letus35 FE http://www.letus35.com/page3.html
rails and follow focus gear http://indifocus.com/index.html
work light kit with blue bulbs

and either a NT3 http://www.videoguys.com.au/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=1844

or a NTG1 http://www.videoguys.com.au/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=1458

i can only afford one...i can't get the oktava here in Aus, which one should i get?

the dvc62 PAL to my understanding is almost the same as the DVX just not 25p it's 25F. are there any major disadvantages to the dvc62, any major features that aren't in it?
i get that it's 1/4" and not 1/3" but does that really matter considering i'll be using a 35mm adapter?

i've got a couple of 35mm lenses already so that's not a problem.

i don't have a tripod or anything. I'm hoping to do mostly shoulder work. that would be the entire kit. that's it. do you think there is anything else i need?

i want to make narrative short-films and later next year a feature... i'll have a tripod then... i hope.

so what do you all think?
anything i'm greatly missing?
anything i've made a mistake in choosing?


i haven't bought anything yet.
thanks
 
Do you have lights? Depending on how you shoot your stuff i'd abstain from getting the letus if you shoot run and gun or don't have a proper light kit as i hear these are very light hungry. Maybe you should save the cash from that and get a DVX instead. Can't really comment on the rest of the kit though, but a tripod WILL come in useful especially if you're doing short films
 
well i can either get just the dvx and nothing else or all of that and nothing else. the point is, i'll be broke by the end.
 
damn it!!! the dvc62 has been discontinued... i can no longer get the damn thing...
panasonic doesn't make a camera above the consumer NV-GS500 and below the pro DVX. that's a gap between 2k-5k (australian)

are they going to fill this gap???
