If you want to wait for about a year, there will be a new player in this field. Did some consulting with the manufacturer, they asked my opinion of features and we hashed it around for a day. Due for sale in early 2010. Can't tell you the name (they asked me not to), but the camera will have all the cool features that we use and have a price point around $2,500 - $3000.

When I initially bought one, the plain B-Cam was selling for $7,995 and now they are around $3000. It does not help to be on the "bleeding edge".

Hope this helps;
