I paid $3,000... well worth it.

 

This is one of the finest electronic purchases I have ever made. I bought the VX2000 when it first ...

Easy to use, professional results, features rich, quality sound

None. Order the large battery and it lasts all day

Still an Excellent Camera!

 

Excellent quality, great low light performance, very affordable.

None other than the fact that it is a slightly older model.

Sad return

 

I must admit I am a skeptical buyer. I purchased a Sony TRV67 but returned it because I was unsatisfied with the microphone and picture quality. I then purchased a Sony VX2000 from National Camera and Video for 2,899. As a student interested in...

The excellent automatic and low light functions- Quality and ease of use

Of course- PRICE

Amazing Camera for Skate/snowboarding films

 

This camera is amazing. I own a small film company called Growling Dog Productions. We make action sports videos. We previously had a smaller Sony for only the close up stuff. When I first got it I wasn't really sure how it was going to compare to the ...

Low light shooting is perfect, ergonomically correct, crisp clean sound, long lasting battery life

No record button on top handle

Sony VX-2000

 

I purchaced the Sony VX-2000 because I am making a skateboard video. I spent 2 months researching every camcorder under the sun and after countless hours on the internet and talking to a dozen camera shops, the VX-2000 was the obvious choice

Well balanced, Handle, 3CCD's, Memory Stick

Not for the beginner, can't change the lens

A great package for a reasonable price!

 

As I read through others reviews of Sony's Vx-2000 camera I couldn't help but think that most of them had probably never touched this particularly camera before. I am currently working for a film production studio in MI, and all we have for our...

quality video & audio, lots of options, DV quality, size of camera

price can be steep, you just have to search for a good one
