Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

For Sin City, Rodriguez (who was also the cinematographer) used a high-definition digital camera, the Sony HDC-950. It starts at about $98,000 and that doesn't include a lens. Rental is maybe $1300 and up per day, depending on your location. Don't forget the HD tapes, running about $35 for 40 minutes.

What, you thought he shot this with some miniDV camcorder?

There are also models from Panavision and Ikagami, priced about the same.
