Should I get the TRV900? (Budget film-making)

from Dave Kerr (kerrd@hotmail.com)
Let's say I am working with a limited budget, I am making my first film, and don't want to waste a whole bunch of money on an expensive camera if it isn't going to make that much of a difference. Should I go for the TRV900, which costs about $1800US, or can I get away with something for $1000US? It doesn't have to be a Sony. There are so many models out there tho, and I haven't heard anything good about any of them, except for the TRV900. Is it true that everything is crap below the TRV900? I do care about video quality alot, but I am not going to double the price for something that is only marginally better. Since I have no experience with DV camcorders, please give me your advice. Also, I am going to buy the Steadicam JR. Is the TRV900 too heavy for it? Thanks.
