Surely with a skatevideo you would also require a "fish-eye" lens

Well I wouldn't say this camera is of broadcast or professional quality, look up the Canon XL H1a
That would give you broadcast quality.
I have heard that the BBC use the Sony HDR

hey Tavojr,
unless you are going to be filming a movie with skateboarding in it, i wouldnt suggest this beast of a camera. this camera has many functions, and is expensive to be giving the camera to your buddies to film, only the owner will treat the camera like a new born baby.
+ you can not get a fish eye lens for this camera that is cheap. (72mm is a big thread!)
for your skateboarding i would just go get a second hand GL2 and slap a $100 fish eye on it. or GL1 (cheaper)

the NTSC version isn't sub-$3000 yet, but it's just a little more than $3000

I'm going to buy XH A1, and i know it is very very good.
You can get the PAL version for about, $3600 on eBay, but I'm from Europe. If you're from USA you need NTSC, which is much cheaper. Under $3000! Good luck!
