What replaces hxr-mc50e?

[harveywetdog]

I was thinking of treating myself to a hxr-mc50e but see that it is discontinued. What would the community recommend as a worthy replacement? I'm looking for something at the top end of the consumer market but not quite professional (and it must have a proper viewfinder!).

Hi

The most obvious 'replacement' for the MC50 is the HXR-NX3, but I don't see that available in the UK. I'm not sure why that would be, however there are a couple of other contenders in the NX range. Have a look a these two in particular:

http://www.sony.co.uk/pro/product/nxcamcorders/hxr-nx70e/overview

All of the above are generally regarded as professional cameras (as is the MC50) being fully-loaded, viewfinder-enabled kit built for heavy use.

Hope that's of some help.
