ALL: films made with?

I am in pre-pro on a no-budget independent feature, and so I looked at cams. I chose the GH3. I looked at the AC line, but the 160a/130a is too much $ for what you get IMHO. For that money, I'd sooner get the FS100 - and you can buy ND filters. But that's still simply too much money. The only other option was the AC90 - I actually like it a lot more than the AC160a, and think it's a much, much MUCH better bang for the buck, and frankly more technically advanced... I particularly liked the stabilization that works brilliantly.

If you can find workarounds for your sound issues with the GH3, then I think that would be your best bet (for me sound is not an issue, as I run it separately from the camera). The GH3 is much more flexible, though it demands a bit more pre-planning.

I'm getting closer to the GH3 as while. I just really like the look of the video. Like you said Oldcorpse the FS100 is nice but its a lot of money and without the ND filters that is a real negative. I've been looking at the C100 but almost $7,000 grand!! The AC90 is nice too but I'd like to see more video from it.

The 160a has 4 reviews and the 130a 12 reviews at B & H Photo. That is not saying much about the camera. The GH3 would be nice on my no- budget as well. I keep looking at my DVX100b too!!
