Dominant Left Eye wrote: giant88 wrote: VX is going to be obsolete very soon. Which vx? I have both a vx1000 & vx2000 and there's nothing out there comparable in quality for the money. HD is the future but until the price comes down, there's going to be a lot of skate filmers using their trusty vx camcorders. There is plenty of parts out there to keep these cameras working too.

Is there anything out there that can give the distortion and wide-ness of the death on an HD camcorder? I figure I should keep my vx and death for lines, and get a DVX for long lens, then one of those HV20 or HV30 cameras with a 35mm adapter for some HD artsy shots. Even if I had those two camcorders, I would still keep my vx. This ain't a mindless defense of the vx, I just still feel the vx has applications among the additions of better camcorders in vids for quite awhile. hustlecoke wrote: Whats up with any fisheyes being used on HD camcorders?
