Shooting for HD TV

Hey guys,

I've been asked to start shooting a TV show in HD, I was told that the camera has to be a $12,000+ style of camera. Is this true or do lots of productions shoot with the pro-sumer cameras, like the Sony V1U or Canon A1 and get great results.

Would the XH-A1 be acceptable for broadcast

Thanks
Ken
 
Depends on the network the show will be on.... but most networks don't allow HDV material for more than a certain percentage of the show..... so your only cheap alternative to a 12k+ HD cameras would be the HVX200.
