What kind of video camera do you use?

I was just wondering what are the most populare video cameras being used and what kind work best. I don't jump a camera, but would like to in another 150 jumps or so.

Originally I had a basic Sony Hi8 on a home built helmet. I then moved to a Sony Digital8 on a Flattop. (This camera is now for sale, check it out in the classifieds). I currently jump a Sony PC9 on the Flattop.
Gotta love Sony!

Sony rules. I use a TRV-30 in a D-box mounted on a bonehead Optik. Very clean setup and very light. Don't mess around with other cameras. Get a sony DV camera and all will be peachy.

I use a Sony PC1 in a D-box side mounted on a Bonehead. I use a Canon Rebel 2000 top mounted for stills.

PC110 side mounted on an optic in a dbox. About to set it up for top mount as well to see how that works out. I want to be able to swap between top and side quickly depending on the dive.

For work, I use a TRV-30 and a Canon Rebel 2000 mounted on a Flat-top Pro. For fun jumps, I use a PC1 mounted in a sidewinder helmet. Both are great setups for their respective uses. Sony is the only way to go!

For work... TRV-20 next to a Olympus E-20 on a flat-top, Pentax ZX-10 on the front with an L-bracket
For Play... PC9 on an L-bracket on a mindwarp
Then there's the belly mount...

I think it is pretty interesting that there have been 20 replies to this thread and I only see one that lists anything other than a Sony for video. Sony DV ROCKS!
