How would these two cameras compare? Used for one project

   Right now im shooting with a vx2000, im looking for a smaller cam to go wtih me on more shoots that i dont want to carry my other cam with me to. Im looking towards the Sony DCR-PC1000, My question is will there big a huge noticable difference between the two shots if im going to use them on the same project. This would highly effect my desicion as im looking to act on this summer time 06 and then buy another camera probably a vx2100 winter or spring of 07. Im just looking for a group that willl compliment and work well together as i know quality matters.
   
   thanks for the support thus far.

   I think you'll have to luck upon someone who actually owns both cameras for a definitive answer - but I can make a pretty good guess.
   
   Your considering a model that costs half what the VX-2100 costs, a model that does poorly in low light especially compared to your VX-2000.
   
   But they're both Sony's, so presumably the color temps will be close. In good light, you'll probably be OK. In low light - forget it.
   
   Sure the PC1000 is smaller and lighter, but what is quality worth? My advice would be start going to the gym, at least until the weight of the VX2000 doesn't bother you anymore. :)
   
   PS - they don't make the 2100 any longer, so don't wait until 2007, they'll probably be gone from the shelves by then. But then, so might all the other SD cams - have you heard HD is coming?

   Hank is right.
   You can't compare a VX to anything.

   When did they stop making the VX2100? Are they going to replace it with something? I've been thinking about getting one myself in the near future. I just need to know if I should wait a bit longer and get the replacement model that they'll have, or just get the 2100 from wherever I can.

   I understand that they stopped making the 2100 a couple of months ago, but it will be several more months before they're all gone from the shelves.
   
   I think the replacement is already out - the FX1.
   
   I doubt we can expect any more SD cams. I haven't heard anything about the PD-170, so I presume they're still making that one.
