Forgot to comment on the camera. As you no doubt know, the DVX100 is well
respected. If it had been available, when I moved from BetaSP to DV, I
would have purchased it. Instead I went with a Sony PD150, later adding a
VX2000 as a second camera. My niche is corporate and trade association work
for everything from large venue meeting display to web site delivery. I
would have no hesitation about the DVX100 for what I shoot. My next camera
purchase will be HD.
