Questions regarding a used DXV100b

[JustinBrown]

Hi, I'm looking to pick one up on ebay, but am curious...what would be considered low hours of usage, and what is the maximum number of hours a DVX100b could be used before I can expect it to need serviced?

Thanks for your help!

I'm planning to list my little used dvx100b (PAL) on ebay in about two weeks time. It only has approx 45 hours on the clock and is in great condition, with original box and manual etc. I imagine that's about as low usage as you'll find anywhere. (Let me know if you'd like me to pm you the link when I do list it. I need to import some footage from it but otherwise I'm not planning to clock too many extra hours on it between now and then).

Dunno about maximum hours, but I would consider 200 hours to be about average for low usage based on the cameras I've seen on ebay over the years.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately I cannot use PAL.

No worries. Best of luck anyway. Hope you find a good dvx with low mileage!

Thanks. Me too! I'm on some kind of crazy SD kick right now, and I'll have the cash...so why not?

Why not indeed. And you won't go wrong with a DVX100b.

If you are still interested, I will be placing my DVX100B and some accessories up for sale in the next few days. Preparing photographs of what I am offering. This 100B had only3 hours on the heads. Been stored in a Porta-Brace bag for several years. Everything works and it looks like new. Interested? Anyone?
