i think shooting gonzo in 24p might be a mistake, gonzo should look as real as possible, giving gonzo a film look might not be a good idea. i have to check out the stuff Quasarman has shot for Zero Tolerance, he uses the Panasonic at 24p.

The differnce in price is quite dramatic actually. Sony VX2100 is $2,200 while Panasonic DVX100a is $3,200 (Source: PriceGrabber). That's 30% more.
Also, 24p means quick action won't look too good. Have you noticed how quick pans or tilts at 24p become jagged and blurry? I think Gonzo style is meant to be shot at 60i. 24p is for aspiring (stupid) wannabe filmmakers who think they'll be able to blow it to 35 mm...
