This review guide PT.1 of 3 will (hopefully) help you guys/gals out
*****INTRODUCTION*****
Sony's $3,999 DCR-VX2100 is the replacement for the very popular DCR-VX2000. The DCR-VX2100 has huge shoes to fill, its grandfather camcorder, the DCR-VX1000 was the first digital consumer (avalible to "us") camcorder, along with the DCR-VX2000, have been the among the most popular and highly regarded prosumer camcorders for the entire nine years that they have been around.
*****The Video Porformance*****
Well the first day me and brad (Local skater) went out filming some hammers, and we got back home and started editing and such and he steeped back and said "damn that is some sweet video performance". I was truly shocked at how it came out too.About the ccd's October when Sony announced the DCR-VX2100, Yoshi Nishimura, Camcorder Product Manager for Sony stated, ''The CCD specifications are the same, the only difference is that we improved the sensitivity of the CCD itself. The improvement was made by improving the process in making the CCD.... Since we've been making the CCD for more than a couple of years, the CCD factory was able to improve the sensitivity so that we can change our low light capability from 2 lux to 1 lux.''
Like the DCR-vx2000 this camera does a "outstanding job of creating a crisp image with extremely accurate color representation. As seems to be the preference of the Sony engineers, the DCR-VX2100 strongly saturates the colors in the image creating a vibrant picture, that seems to lean slightly towards red, though certainly not to the extent of some of the lower Sony models" that quote from camcorderinfo.com also said that "The DCR-VX2100's overall picture quality is outstanding and it will certainly impress. The dynamic range is great; there are no color smear problems and none of the colors seem to be under or over represented."You won't be dissapointed!
*****The Front*****
The front is laid out like a camcorder should be, with nothing special but the mic and lens.The mic is placed perfectly on the cam and flows with the look of the camera.Although this and the front of the DCR-VX2000 look the same Sony made some minor changes...like the lens hood now the VX 2100 has a shutter to keep the lens from getting effffed in the a...The lens hood however can be removed rather esaly...all you do is unscrew this dial on the one side of the hood.
*****The Side*****
The DCR-VX2100 fetures a 2.5 inch lcd screen that hides a host of buttons mainly used for effects and memory card functions.The LCD screen is locked into place so you dont have to worry about it getting broken off.Moving up the camera side there is an exposure botton...moving up the cam it has a round like feel to it and the the focus slider which switches from auto, manual to infinity and the 'push auto' button which has the camcorder set the focus when in manual mode.
That's all for now folks.
