and i loved the sl-hf2100. it was a very sleek machine. too bad it
didn't have control-t and couldn't be used to its fullest capability
with my 9500s and 1000s!

i recall a friend was floored when we compared picture quality of his
flagship hrs-10000u (? high-end s-vhs) with my edv-9500. hell, even my
sl-hf1000 gave it a run for its money! we fed each deck with the output
of my edw-10f camcorder with the recorder removed and having
the camera-only attachment (va-10f).

and that's why i used to use the format for wedding videography. it was
a pain in the shoulder, but the benefits (in light-permitting
situations) was worth it.
