"Suggested over DVX-100A & HD10"
Pros: Read the specs, those are the pros. Mingus suggests that the JVC-HD10 is better. Not so, the HD10 is a single CCD using a software algorithm for color (single CCD sees only black and white. An algorithm interprets the shades of gray as colors). 1070 e
Cons: The downside is that extra software is required to get what you want out of it for those of you interested in 24P and editing in HD. If you're willing to do the extra work, this camera is about the best thing you can get under $5,000.

"Great camera if used properly"
Pros: Far superior to standard DV, makes an incredible transfer from HDV to Dv on a dvd in 1hour mode that is way better than making it from my Vx2000 the same way, as far as low light -no its not as good as the vx2000 but then again it looks like 100asa film c
Cons: As simple as it may be the #1 thing I disslike about this camera is the fact that they did not put a overlap in the fader menu, it only fades from black or white as is the same with there proz1 model. I use this "alot" for in-camera editing and will miss-

"Can't imagine a better picture"
Pros: Low light performances are great. Details, details, details. What your eye sees the camera captures. Worth to pay the extra $$$ only if you have an HD television. Camera easily switches to standard DV when uploading video to computer for editing. Image is
Cons: Can only view HD images with the camera connected to your HD TV set. I own a 65'' HD TV and the results blew my mind (and my then-sceptical wife) Since consumer level dvds and editing softwares are not yet HD, we will have to wait a while before we can tu

Pros: HDV-1080 is very nice and noticably better than DV quality. Widescreen is beautiful. The lens is great as is the autofocus most of the time.
Cons: The new CCD's developed for this camera need considerably more light than the VX2000 or VX2100. This camera added 12db more gain using autoexposure than my VX2000 for the same shot.
