I am in the process of selling my DVX100 in favor of the DVX100a. I was thinking of getting a XL2 but I figured that the DVX100a was probably better for my needs, even though I think the XL2 is very perty to look at. So if you can help me out I would be very interested, it should make a lovely...

I was wondering if the viewfinder can be set to black and white for monitoring purposes or if you have to by the monochrome viewfinder seperate. If it is not possible to do, is there a possibility that it can be done through the SDK?

I know that the lens is electronic, but I want to know how good of a feel it has and how resposive it is compared to the DVX. I m also wondering if you can do the cineform 24 and the fake 30 frames a second in SD.

Does anyone know were I can find footage, frame grabs and/or resolution charts comparing these camcorders? I would like to buy a b-roll camcorder and I have physically played with the dvc30 at the local Panasonic strore but I couldn't compare the three while I was there. I did notice that the...

Remote control I was thinking about improving on the original D.I.Y remote zoom controller by adding a 3 position switch (like on the dvx handle) , #1 for slow #2 for medium and #3 for fast speed, but I dont exactly know how to go about creating it. Then I would like to see a rocker control...

D.I.Y Sunshade I realized after many ruined shoots due to sunflare that a mattebox or sunshade was to only option for my future outdoor projects. It is fair to say that the DVX isn't the best camcorder in combating stray light from entering the lens. I looked around and found many options and...

I have been pretty rough with my dvx the past few months, as I am shooting a 4X4 offroading video in Utah. Two weeks ago after a shoot I noticed that a screw was missing from the back left part of the handle. I got a little worried and searched places for a new screw. I thought an eye doctor...
