THE camera to shoot your 1st feature; look no further I shot my second feature (Flying Tiger) on the DVX and took it to the Cannes Film Fest market and no one could tell it wasn't film. This camera is fantastic if you shoot right. I suggest this camera over all the other similarly-priced models. We have done extensive testing with many cameras and this is my favorite. The JVC is many thousands more and you get less grain with it in dark areas, true, but for the money, the DVX, if you shoot properly with it, will get you amazing results.

Pros: This is one of the best 24p camera around. You probably won't find anything better then this. It has everything you need to shoot film, tv shows, etc....
Cons: It was hard to use at first because it has so much features in it, but it was simple later on. I don't think this camera has any Cons period.

Pros: Variable frame rates (60i, 30p, 24p and 24p Advanced) make this camera useful for many productions. The image is clear and the controls are simple to understand. LCD is nice and big and the weight of the device is not bad even for a couple of hours of handheld shooting. The main thing - this camera puts out an amazing picture!
Cons: The m...

100% (10 of 10) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | great video camera I was torn between Sony and Panasonic (the Canons seemed to have many recurring complaints especially with the decks), and after reading several reviews became gradually partial to the Panasonic, before ever having used one, based on customer loyalty and consistently glowing testimonials.
Well I've never used the comparable Sony's, JVC's, or the Canon XL2 (some limited experience with the GL2), but as best I can tell without personal comparison this camera does in fact deserve all t...

95% (21 of 22) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | Best in Class The DVX 100b is cheaper than the XL2 but you get more features. Aside from the compact and built in XLR ports, you get an optional flip out view finder which the XL2 doesn't offer. If you are looking for a non HD camera i would suggest going with a camera that has an optional 24p because you'll be getting your money's worth and it is a awesome feature to have...

92% (12 of 13) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | Great camera and image quality Lit and shot properly, the footage from this camera in 24P mode can come very close to 16mm film. This is a fantastic camera for the price, and this new B model has worked out a lot of the kinks from the earlier models. For those of you looking at the XL2, it's true this camera does not have an interchangeable lens (although wide-angle and telephoto adapters are available) but the camera feels more compact and robust, with more features (like XLR) built right into the camera body vs. external at...

From what Ive seen, the fact that the DVX100B is hard as heck to find says alot about which one is better. I find it very odd that a great number of these cameras are being sold by numerous retailers in Brooklyn who go by names like express, photosweep, Camera City....seems like one dealer is using multiple names and varied prices. If you need a DVX100B, its best to buy from a...

Just wanted to say that. It's lighter than the XL2

DVX is cheaper with same features but can't help notice (i) XL2 has a 20x optical zoom compared to DVX's 10x and (ii) the DVX weighs twice (10 pounds) the XL2 (5 pounds).
