I'm curious what type of digital cameras did they use in 28 days later and in the new Star Wars?

28 Days Later used an XL1.

Star Wars used a wicked expensive HD camera of some sort. I'm sure it was ten, maybe hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Yeah PAL XL1 for 28 days later, and the Sony DSR900 HD cam for Star Wars. To get that cam up with good lenses and everything to truly "compete" with big budget films would be somewhere in the neighborhood of $100,000+ to buy. But you dont buy that cam unless your george Lucas, or Robert Rodriguez... you rent it. Still a pretty penny but it does save money in post compared to film.

The redemption link in my sig (if it still works) is HD using Panasonics answer the Varricam
