The Bottom Line This three-chip camera offers excellent video quality to amateurs, but it's not ready for professional prime time. The Sony DCR-VX2000 is a lightweight prosumer camera that offers heavyweight performance and a wealth of features. Panasonic has listened. The third incarnation of the AG-DVX100 offers unrivalled bang for the buck in a prosumer standard-definition MiniDV camera. Though it lacks some audio flexibility and isn't recommended for 24fps shooting, the HDR-FX1 provides advanced consumers with professional-level video controls and entry-level pros with an affordable starting camcorder. The Sony Handycam HDR-FX7 is an excellent high-definition camcorder from a video perspective, but it's less satisfying if you're an audio control freak.
