I own a VX2100… looking back I probably would have gone with the PD170… in order to get XLR into the VX2100, I needed a Beachtek adaptor which would not have been needed if I had the PD170… I believe the PD170 is the regular DV, not MiniDV, which I hear has a lower probability of frame drop outs… anyone know if this is true? If so, between the XLR connections and better reliability, my next camera will definitely be a PD170 over the VX2100…
