After 3.5 years owning a Canon XM2 and holding out on upgrading cause I couldn't really justify it, I now sit here in my office at work looking at my sexy new DVX102BEN (PAL version), waiting for that battery to charge!
I know the DVX is old now, but man I am happy. What amazed me immediately is how this thing looks. Very nice compared to my Mattel looking XM2. Solid feeling and quite hefty looking but still lighter than I thought it'd be. (As a side note, I saw the HVX when I was in the store....THAT THING IS MASSIVE!)
I scored a pretty good deal too. In NZ a DVX102B is about $4400. I paid that but got 5 tapes, UV filter, Rain cover, Kata bag and another battery (D54 size) in a special deal.
Well can't wait to get shooting with this, both to fiddle and to make something decent.
Thanks to this community for everything it's given me to date and will continue to give me now I can make use of the DVX info here!
Cheers
