Good question and great answers. I sold off my vx2000 last year, but have been needing a new camera for sometime. I have been looking at the vx2100 since it was vary similar to the vx2000 and I always found that camera to be very usable. I don't think I care about HD, really... the extra workflow size etc, for porn? seems overkill.
I have wondered about shooting "diskless" but I still like having my tapes for backup. was wondering about the solutions I have seen that attach a hard drive to your camera so you shoot to both the dv tape and to the HD at the same time... ?
On lighting... I have a set of the tota lights and they work well, but are hot as hell and really suck the power. In fact, I have been in hotel suites shooting where if I plugged in more than 2 I would knock out the power in the room and trip some sort of alarm... (Happened at 2 different places in toledo) I've always wanted to get a set of the florescent lights if for nothing else, they are cool (as in heat)
Maybe it is time to think about moving tapeless, god knows they are a huge pain in the ass when it comes to getting the video off. Going to bookmark this thread and use it to buy my next camera.
