Hey, I wanting to buy two cameras for filming rock bands and after talking to a lot of sales people, still can't decide between the DVX102A or SONY'S DSR_PD170, PDX10 or the new HDV, HVR-Z1?
Which one is going to give a great picture in no, little or high lighting on stage, for the money?
I have been interested in getting one HDV and one PDX10 but like the idea of two DVX102A.
Any advice would be a big help, cheers

I'd go with two DVX. I don't like HVD at all! And DVX has almost everything PD170 has plus the 24P and 30P.

I personally use a DVX for the same purpose you do. I have learned that most clubs don't have the proper lighting and or gels to make awesome videos. When working with national acts which I do from time to time, that is a different story.

Any how your decission should first be based on 30 fps or 24 fps. If your looking for that VH-1 video look when you have the proper lighting then I would go with the DVX in 24 Pa.

If your looking for good detailed video in lesser lighting I would go with the PD-170 only because you can run and gun from club to club better with that camera. Just my thoughts.
