I found someone local selling a dvx100a for $1450. There has been 270hrs of audio recorded and less than 15hrs of video recorded. The camera was stored in his house at all times and never really taken anywhere for a shoot. My question is, is it a big deal having 270hrs of audio recorded with the camera? I'm pretty new to the Dvx series, I use a Sony vx1000 at the moment. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
dvx100a used, just a quick question

Does not sound like a bad deal. I would check out the camera first. would not buy online without touching it. I bought a brand new DVX100A for $1800
2 years ago so you may just be able to save up a few more dollars and catch a brand new one.

Really depends what you want to use it for. if you're making films then dvx is the way to go. besides 24p, it has 2 xlr mic inputs, the whole kit and kabootle.
now that i think about it, i dono why you would buy a vx2100 over a dvx100b.

how do you guys check how much time was used on a camera?
is there an option on the camera that shows you?

Thats what i was thinking. Is it anyway possible to record just an audio feed though? such as hooking the camera up to a computer and not having a tape in?
This is actually off of pittsburgh craigslist. I'm also wondering why he spent that much money on a video camera when he could have spent it on a low end protools setup.
