I'm thinking about getting a 3rd cam. I have a 200 and a 200a, and have access to another 200 if I'm doing a big 3 cam shoot, but sometimes it's nice to have a little guy that you don't mind taking a little more abuse than your $6k camera. I have read good things about the Panny SD9, but I'm not a fan of the slight green tint that's in all of the footage that I've seen. I can get a Sony HDR-UX10 for about the same price, and I also like the low light capabilities and low noise of the Canon HF-100. I've read here that the SD9 cuts well with the HVX200's, but it might end up getting used for sandalone projects, or for just my personal family camcorder. I'm sure an HMC-150 would be great, but I kind of want a really tiny inexpensive camera with pretty good IQ. Any experiences or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
Anyone used a Sony HDR-UX10?

I can't vouche for the Sony... but I really do like the SD9 footie... and if there's a green tint to things.. i've never noticed it. It handles cc pretty well as well.. and you get much better results from manually exposing and such. The 150 is the other camera that I want to buy.. but the SD9 really does a pretty good job all in all.. just make sure you have either Voltaic or an intel mac.... if you are on Mac side of things.

HV20 or 30 is nice... for static shots and interview type things. Horrible rolling shutter and jello video when shooting in extreme conditiions and whn doing rapid pans and covering fast motion. We sold our HV20 after a series of helicopter shoots that rendered it useless. We were also hoping to use it for on-bike types of applications.. but just couldn't get a stable shot..
