no,,, the vx2k, and the 21k have lcd's...... and the vx1k has the best day colors out of all of them(arguable) and most filmers would give a leg for a vx1k,,

[casanova]

Most filmers wouldn't give a leg for them anymore, Every filmer now is mostly buying dvx1a or b's. The vx1k doesnt have an lcd for the simple reason of being the first minidv 3ccd camera ever invented. The reason you dont need an lcd is because if you're shooting long lens then you should'nt waste battery and look through your viewfinder. And if you are filming lines you would most likely have a death lens on that camera. And since the mk1 is wide enough to see 175* then you can almost see your face in the viewfinder if hunched over the camera too much.

true but i dont really like eyeholes you have to pass it around to people and rewind ect. for people to see the video instead of having a LCD to where people can crowd around.

i want something under $1200 with a handle

sry cant edit that post....

but im proly gonna get a vx1 on ebay cause they are starting to be cheap...$500 - $1000

[wowwhatsthat]

Well cheap doesnt mean youre getting it.If its 500 for a vx it probaly doesnt work.

If that's what matters to you in a camera, you probably don't need to be investing in one that expensive in the first place.

[vx2100]

I have a question if the vx1000 is good why did they upgrade so much already ? i dont know just a random question ? And the battery actually last a long while well for me mostly the whole day of filming cause every doesnt seem to lag on landing there trick but i dont know tell me more of the vx1 features ? I own a Vx2100.

[Trippy_Filmer]

why did they upgrade, why not. so sony could make more money with better products. people film more things than just skateboarding. the vx1000 may have used to be arguably the best skate cam. but sony doesnt care.

[casanova]

Sony made shitloads off of vx1k's they upgraded because the wanted to more consumer features into a prosumer camera. Sony does this to most all their cameras, as does canon jvc panny ect ect. This is how the world works. Shit i should make a thread called how the world works, So all you clueless kids know how it works when you're older. Like maybe tell you which pedal is gas and which is break.

sony was very smart in upgrading from vx1 to vx2
they made the mounting threads larger in the vx2 so that more people would have to buy sony lenses again for the vx2 (if they didnt want vignetting)

Hey,
I just created a skating film for a film and video class in my high school and really enjoyed how it came out. I have always enjoyed filming and after this experience, want to purchase a semi/pro camera to film myself and friends. I have been looking at the Sony VX1000s and VX2000s. I am really feeling the VX2000s but my summer job screams VX1000s. Should I wait to buy a better camera than the VXs or just buy a 1000. Keep in mind, I am an AM filmer, and don't have a lot of experience. Thanks.

[casanova]

if you dont have alot of experience then dont buy a 'semi pro' camera, considering the vx series is pro. if you consider how many 'pro' people use 'pro' cameras (they are betacams and all that bullshit) so if you have hardly any experience get a 1 chip camera.

[novascotiaskate]

But wouldn't it be smarter to invest in a better camera now? Otherwise, I would be spending money on two cameras (in the long run), and it seems slightly more economical to buy the pro camera first. I have filmed before using a cheap cameras (DV quality), but they are hard to use (sizewise) and easily damaged.
A vx1000 might make a better investment, don't you think?
