But as a professional video camera, it’s still pretty steep as this price includes no lens, no decent microphone, etc.

At this $3500 price, you can start getting a decent prosumer video camcorder that is properly suited to shooting video, for longer periods of time, with better audio & control, video measurement and assessment, easier direct access to control parameters, and a whole lot more.

The Canon XF100 is $2995 new.
The Canon XH-A1s $2649 new
The JVC HM150U is $2600 new.
The Panasonic AC130 is $3695 new.
The large sensor Sony NEX-VG20 is $1600 new.

There are even “pro” 3D camcorders from Panasonic, Sony, & JVC under $3300.
All of these have dedicated audio controls and XLR inputs, smooth servo zoom lenses, and enough depth of field that half your shots won’t be out of focus.

The question is what camcorders compare at the price point of most video DSLRs?
