A good HDV

successor to the

VX2100. But not"professional" as it

doesn't have the

two XLR sockets.

If that is importantto you, look at the

Z1 instead.

Already a favourite

replacement for the PD170

at the BBC. If you can'tafford to shoot your doc on

DigiBeta or the DSR500 -

this will keep the

commisioning editor happy.

The main selling points are

the interchanable lenses and

the true 24p "film like" videorecording. A nice touch is the

removeable SD memory card

to record personal settings.

Great for multicam s

location or in the stu

HD-SDI output, genltimecode in/out. Wit

battery package this

it too expensive for t

budget guerilla film
