The Panny DVX100A kicks the VX2100's ass in picture quality. Anyone who says different has not seen a side-by-side shootout. But the DVX100A just does not have as good of a full auto mode. Auto focus is slower and auto white balance is not reliable. I also do not think the OIS is not as good in the Panny.
Sony is on it's way out with the new generation of HDV cameras next month so I would wait another month or so to buy that camera.
If you are looking for something cheap then get the new Panny GS400. You can pick one of those up for about $1,200 but might have to wait a week or 2 because everybody wants one. I might get one for times when I need a very small camera.

Thank you for that extensive answer. When it comes to shooting movies I am not a hero so I will go for the full auto mode
