I am currently planning to purchase some new equipment and I have decided to own Istopmotion 3 as my stopmotion software. The problem is that I have been having some trouble trying to find a good DV Camcorder that has firewire connectivity. The features I would want include 1080p HD, over 15 megapixels, and maybe a manual focus feature. I might also accept a 3D feature if there is one with it. I would want the price to be less than $1000.
