As-salaamu `alaikum,
Alhamdulillah, we have selected the Canon HV20 for the movie. It's an HD camera that shoots in 24 fps (that's movie standard folks) and well as having a mic port for adding the shotgun mic. The reviews of this camera are quite impressive and I am happy to be getting this camera.
Alhamdulillah, Brother Nabil, who will play one of the main characters of the movie will be buying this camera. It's a great investment and we will make a good quality movie insha Allah and thanks to Brother Nabil for chipping in.
The casting update so far is me, Khaleel (who is also co-producing this movie), Yahya, and Nabil. We will change the name of the characters to our names, so I will play Ahmad, but the name Ahmad will be changed to my name which is of course Mahdi and so on.

Just to let you know, the 24p footage is encoded in a 60i stream b/c its in HDV. Its the same for AVCHD format.
Keep a note, that If you wish to edit on a system that uses Adobe Premiere 24p footage from an HDV or AVCHD cam, you are going to have to a "pulldown" from teh 60i stream. More details on what I'm talking about here:

If you are going to use finalcut, find out how well it edits 24p footage encoded in a 60i stream.
