need advice quick!

Hi everyone. I'm brand new to the site & it's AWESOME! Q: I just recently purchased a DVC30 with 30 hours on it on ebay with a 60 day warranty for $1050. I put a hold on the delivery because I'm thinking about going to the 100A or 100B. The seller has a 100A with 55 hrs on it for $75 more, or a 100B for $1500. I'm very new to this and an amature! I'm mostly going to use the camera in a studio setting, doing my editing through a Mac. I will be doing some outdoor documentary shooting on location. ANY ADVICE FROM YOU PROS? I'D BE MOST APPRECIATIVE!!
Forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong place!

The DVX100A without a doubt is a better camera, and will suit your studio use better. 55 hours is nothing in my opinion, so go for the better camera for $75 more. Leave the 100B alone. Not worth the extra cash necessarily.

Cheers.

Paul, I greatly appreciate you taking the time! I will take your advice & go for the 100A.
Thanks man!

+1 on the DVX100a. That isn't a great bargain, but is a fair price especially for one with 55 hours.

Thanks Grant, I got em down to $1100 on the 100A. I think it's a pretty good deal. I appreciate your feedback!
