Cons: none
I knew this camera would have good low light capabilities but I had no idea they would be this good. The image stabilizer works great and there are many manual controls, but works great in auto mode too. Both audio and video quality are great. I would say this is a great camera, you get what you pay for. It's well worth the money. ...

Sony was Correct in Not Adding High Definition or Progressive Scan Video to the DCR-VX2100
The Sony DCR-VX2100 replaces the hugely popular and high quality DCR-VX2000. The DCR-VX2100 has very few upgrades, the only major one being an improvement in low light performance. The popularity of the Panasonic AG-DVX100 with it's independent filmmaker appeasing 24 frames progressive scan... more...

Pros: delightful picture
Cons: pricy
This is a great camera if you got the cash. The real upgrade from the vx2000(the older one) is the sound, and that the record buttens and zoom are not only on the body but also on the handle. I am going to go out on a lim here and say this is the best prosumer camera on the market.
p.s. dont buy the canon gl2 its the same thing as the gl1 only bigger and more expensive. Also buying on ebay is a risk. I was just almost skamed but at the last second relized it and did not pay. Good luck and may the queen be with you. ...
