For those not familiar with the Sony PD100a it's basically a beefed up version of a TRV900. It is a small 3-chip camera with many pro features and it's built like a brick. I don't really want to sell it but since I barley ever use it, if I can find a good home I would be willing to let it go.

It has been used as a second backup to my PD170 and PD150 and since it shoots nice video and is compact I usually bring it along. It has been carried to many jobs but rarely used so it has some normal wear. It always travels in a Pelican case so it has been well protected and never dropped. I would estimate that I have run 10-15 tapes through the camera but that is a very high estimate. It comes with two batteries (the 330 and 540), a Sony 0.7 wide angle lens, two lens hoods (one for the 0.7 and one for the camera), a UV filter (the UV filter has a small chip in the corner but it does not show in the video), a hot show XLR adapter (which was used once, it sounds like crap and if you need XLR buy a Beach-Tek because this thing is useless), and a Porta-Brace cover to protect the camera from the elements. I also have the original box. I would like to get $850 for the whole package. If you have any questions at all or if you would like to see some pictures let me know.

I received a questions asking about the various functions of the camera and since I do not use the camera much I went through and checked all relevant functions. Everything worked except, strangely enough the useless XLR adapter. I slid it on another camera and I still did not get audio so my guess is that there is a problem with the adapter itself and not the hot shoe. I did test the 1/8 inch mic input on the PD100a and it worked fine. As I said in my post, the adapter is junk anyway and if you need XLR just buy a Beach-Tek or similar. The onboard stereo mic worked fine. I also hooked the camera up to Final Cut and was able to get a picture from my systme up on the camera. So the firewire port works and other then the XLR adapter everything checked out fine. If you have any questions let me know.
