Which Digital Cameras to use for Camera Matching?

[Michael J. Brown]

I'm giving serious consideration to green-screening for animation projects down the road and would like to know from those who have done it, what type of digital video camera setups are you using?

 

I never shoot a single still image or animation in standard 50mm focal length - always smaller. Therefore the typical DV camcorder may not work. Unless, that is, there are DV camcorders with focal lengths that let you go as low as 24mm. Are there? Camcorder makers are usually most boostful about their zoom capabilities, but never really talk about wide angle capabilities.
