if I was you guys I would shop around..$6,000 is a shitload for a vx2100 try around $3000 at the most. For $6,000 you could buy like 3 vx1000's and a new editing computer

Sorry if I am being dumb, but where did the $6000USD figure come from? That camara at the link Patt provided costs around $2342USD.

Just some 1ccd DV cams dude. Nothing special.

We had 4. A Canon Mv30i, Sony TRV18, Sony TRV22 and some old peice of shit JVC.

But some of the footage fromt that stunt Table for 3 was on a VX2100.. It didnt make the DVD tho as u know.

Overall I'd have to agree with the general consensus on this board. Splashing out on a professional camera, won't do you any favours in the long run.

But yeah, its a sweet camera and pat doesnt have to have a point to buy things he will save up the money he spent on that in about a month

the vx2100 is easy as fuck to set up. It doesnt have shit in terms of manual controls...

I would say the only cams out there that require any knowledge would be an hd cam or something involving xlr audio.

youll get good use out this pat, good choice.

yeah I'd like a VX2100.. for some reason I just love the Canon GL2.. you can always clearily recognise clips that use XM2's or GL2.. the green looks very lovely in those clips :) dunno why but I dig those colours.
