Thanks for your input!

a) I'm glad you "warned" me about the Intensity card, however, I still have a hard time thinking about the necessity of a comb filter. Doesn't it sorta destroy the field order (in other words - deinterlace) and therefor make the process of IVTC somewhat harder?

b) I'm sure I'll try to get a V8000, it seems to be a great choice. THANKS!

c) I'm a little familiar with the process of denoising. However, if you just average out 3 different captures, don't you just end up with a the "average" noise of them? How would this go about efficiently?
