My guess is a Sony V1U, but this is probably not the right sub-forum.

Hard to tell from the silhouette... Sony Z1U, Z5U, or AX2000.

Definitely not a post for this forum though. Could move it to another...

wrong forum

definitely looks like a Sony circa 2007, but it is hard to tell, ha

Why do you want to know, might help? Choosing a camera from a fuzzy picture is worse than ordering an untested camera based off specs alone. What you want to do with it? Might lead to a better response and maybe more appropriate suggestions you haven't considered.

Dude, it is really hard to hit the right one from this pic. There are many cameras of this type that look 99% the same

I have found out:
It's Sony HXR-NX3.

I am searching for a camera for a short documentary. I've seen some were using it few months ago and never get around to ask about it. Then found a photo of it.

I am searching something like this ($3000) or less, any suggestions please?

To the moderators: Please move this post to a relevant area as I cannot find it myself.

Hahaha nice way to start a "what camera for doc should I buy" thread.

I do agree with you that for 3k you will need an "all in one" type of camera. If not, you can look for a used AF100/FS100 package or maybe a DSLR, but that needs lots of extra stuff to make it work as a docu camera and will probably surpass the 3k mark you have set for your self...

And if you want help in choosing a camera, give us more detail about the type of films you'll be doing.
