Robin, This, in my opinion, has been your best reivew yet. Lots of pictures, and excellent comments and information about the camcorder. I was going to go with the VX2000, but I'm holding off till the VX2100 comes out. It sounds like a fantastic camcorder. Since I live in Canada, it'll be about $5200 with taxes included. I'll go check it out at Henry's when it debuts in December. As an intermediate videographer, at 17, I currently own a Sony TRV38, although a great camcorder, I definatly need something more and since I'm filming 2 weddings in May and one in June, I'm definatly going to need a better camcorder. I also make movies with my friends. Currently we are in the works of doing a Starwars fanfilm using Adobe Premiere and Adobe Photoshop for the Lightsaber effects. (Frame by Frame editing! yah ) I'm applying at Ryerson University this spring for the Film and Production course. Anyway, enough blabbing, thank-you for this first excellent review! Keep it up!
