Separated at birth........?

 

[thisiswells]

uncanny.

 

[JoshuaNitschke]

Which one is the second one? I can tell by the colors it's canon, but I don't recognize the model.

 

[shAi]

they all look pretty much the same since VX1000

 

[Feroxfilm]

Can`t really see the similarities. And it`s a XM2 (here in Europe). Really like/liked that camera

 

[Aaron Koolen]

That explains why my XM2 cried when I showed it the HVX..

[OliverM]

So they have sorta like the same body shape as the VX 1000 , pd 150 and 170, Z1, etc....
What's your point? The basic shape is the same for a lot of cams. Body, lens and grab handle on top...

 

[Contact_Therapy]

Yeah, so? Btw, that's a Canon GL2.

How many ways can you build a camera? You stick the lens in front and the view finder in the back. Big whoop dee doo. The wheel doesn't have to be reinvented.

Pookie, stop hating on the HVX. We all know you will be first in line to buy one when it drops.

 

[David Jimerson]

The HVX is considerably larger.

 

[Prairieboy]

You know what looks even more like that camera. The DVX, hmmm the DVX not a bad camera, think it has a pretty good rep, people like it, it takes pretty pictures, and has a good beat. I'll give it a ten.

WHAT IS YOUR POINT

 

[HansK]

WHAT IS YOUR POINT

Heh heh... to get people all fired up. You grabbed the hook. :cheesy:

 

[NO CA$H]

they are both ugly cameras. but theres a pretty big difference with the gl2 and hvx200.

You don't buy a drill because you want a drill, You buy it because you need a hole. You get the best tool you can for the job you are doing. Who cares what it looks like.

Do you buy a car even if it's the most hideous thing on wheels just because it will "do the job"? Some people do, some people dont... but a LOT of people put some importance on form factor and style in their "tools"

 

[Jim Brennan]

Yes, if it serves your needs. Looks don't matter much to me. It's not about how cool something is, or what it looks like. I'm not saying that, all other things being equal, form or style should never play a part in the decision making process. But too often people get hung up on how something looks, or what other people will think when they see it. Your example of a car is perfect. How many nimrods are out there, paying more than they can afford for a car (truck, suv, whatever) that uses too much gas so they can look cool. They buy a suburban when a minivan will do? (or in some cases a Honda Civic will do) You should be allowed to get what you want if you can afford it. But you should always ask yourself "why" are you choosing what you are getting. Function before form. Always.

What the hell is trolling?
