				New Sony HDV cam
			 
 I used it today.   Feels really good handheld.   The lens is wide so no real need for adding a fucking rock on the end of your lens.
 LCD is of low quality.  Less quality than on the VX2100 but it is bigger.
 
 If you are one of the guys who uses onboad mics than you might be disapointed because this mic is not isolated so well so you get more handling noise than on the VX2100.  But of course we always use real mics,  right?
 
 You can shoot in HDV and then just send it out to your computer as DV and it centercuts 4:3 for you if you don't want widescreen.   Also when you are shooting you can have pillarboxes showing the safe zone for 4:3 because the LCD always shows 16:9.
 
 No where near the low light capability of the VX2100.
