Take control of sound and vision with the DCR-VX2100. With its new Advanced HAD progressive scan CCD technology, illumination is improved dramatically, delivering superior low-light performance without the use of infrared technology. By increasing the CCD's sensitivity to light, clearer, brighter video with more lifelike color can be captured, even when recording in dimly lit environments.

Its 58mm aspherical lens and duel-position neutral density filter minimize distortion from standard spherical lenses and compensate for varying lighting situations such as studio lights or direct sunlight. Additionally, the VX2100 includes a built-in lens cap to protect the enhanced optics package, manual audio control and PCM Digital Stereo Audio in 12 and 16-bit modes, a manual focus and manual zoom ring, built-in color bar generator, 16: 9 wide screen recording capability, intelligent accessory shoe, both 12x optical and 48x digital zoom, advanced optical SteadyShot picture stabilization and up to seven hours1 of operation with the optional NP-F960 InfoLithium battery.

    great buy

    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 bes...t 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. Read more Less

    Very nice camcorder

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 8, 2005 | 4 out of 4 found this Sony DCR-VX2100 review helpful

    Pros: Quality of everything

    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 woul...d say this is a great camera, you get what you pay for. It's well worth the money. Read more Less

    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 shooting capability and the excitement surrounding inexpensive high definition video in the JVC GR-HD10, created a lot of pressure by some prosumers on Sony to produce a camcorder with one or both of those features. Many feel that Sony will take a lot of slack for not including HD or 24 frames progressive scan video on the DCR-VX2100 but I think it was the right decision at this time. Read more
