Yep. I know a fair amount as this is the camera Ive been planning on getting.
Basically, it's sony's cheapest 3 chip camera, and instead of using CCD's, this camera uses CMOS chips. Im not sure what the difference is, but in the review I read it performed very well. I believe this is the first camera to use CMOS technology. They currently are using CMOS chips in only 1 other camera, the HC1 which is the cheapest HD cam out there.
The CMOS chips are very small, only 1/6th of inch....the chips in the vx2100 are honestly twice as big as the ones in the PC1000, which makes me weary on how good the PC1000 picture quality is.
The upside of the pc1000 is that it is extremely small, one of the smallest 3ccd cams out there....which is why its chip are so small.
I like the fact thats its very small and extremely well priced. Its less than half the costs of a vx2100, only $930. So all that I really care about is whether the picture quality is any good. Sometimes these small 3 chips cams end up performing worse than a normal sized 1 chip cam. So I bit skeptical.
