The price of the DVX is way down and also there is a $300 rebate now because anybody with a clue is moving to HD now since the HDV cams came out. Pannasonic will be out with a 720p DVCPRO HD cam under $10k this year also so they are trying to move their DVX100A cams now.
You might want to check out the Sony HDV cams. Some morons on this board say the camera is shit but they don't know what they are talking about. I have to get up at 5 am to go work a shoot for the TV show NCIS and will be doing some of the risky shots with the HDV cam while they keep their $165k F900 HD cam safe from the water. So if the HDV cam is good enough for a backup of a $165k camera on a network TV show then it is good enough for the average retard who is shooting models.

My friend who used to have the DVX sold it and bought the HD1 which was the first HD cam. Even after post production I think that the Panasonic looks better in means of obtaining a "film look". The Panasonic doesn't have much depth and the colors are soft but thats the two main things 35mm and 16mm cams lack. Since lack of depth is something that is attributed to the film look.
I found a great DVX forum with clips and stills...the camcorder is simply amazing. I might give it a llittle more time to see if the price drops a little.
