Ok no one laugh at me. I do love panasonic and liking the DVX after researching more (I'm still a canon fan) but looking into getting a DVX probably in the summer. So I need some help here. I've been looking some of these up. What different features are different from the DVX100, DVX100a, and the DVX100b (and any other 100 something).
 
The 100a has a slower zoom, 30 sec instead of 20 sec, anamorphic squeeze mode for 16:9 video, automatic focus, gain and color bars in the progressive modes, new gamma curves, slow shutter, improved color reproduction over the 100 original.

The 100b has synchronous setting of TC values in multiple cameras, user settable files can be copied from camera to camera, focus and iris remote control, EVF and LCD can display images in 16:9 letter-box format while filming in squeeze mode, and overscan display in the LCD and a different black mate finish.
 
I honestly like the DVX100 better than the B. The A I like better than the B. The LCD is HORRENDOUS on the B. Anyone else agree?
 
Strange, the LCD is supposed to be higher in resolution on the B. But it is also underscan.

So, when you are not used to it, you may cut some heads!

I like my 100, but I really miss the slower zoom on some occasions. Not on hand held shooting, but when using a tripod.

But now, I also have the HMC150.
