Why not? I know some guys that are currently running a scuba forums and video magazine. They started out with a GL2 and are now using an HC1 and an FX1. Start small and work your way up.
If you're worried about the tape deck why not look into the Hard Disk Drive camcorders? 60gb of HD video shouldn't be too bad, but it's like an iPod. If something goes wrong, you lose everything so you just need to load the stuff onto your computer as soon as possible. Just another option.
Tape may be dying completely, but i wont rely on Hard drives, EVER.
Either i get a camera that supports the 32gb SD cards or tape, those i can depend on.
But it looks like the 5D mark 2 is out of my hands if i do get something of that caliber.
Starting small, indeed, thats what im trying to do, the 100B is better than the Gl2 By a large margin, and it only costs about 200$ more.
Funny thing is i cant find any footage samples.
