Any problems going from a PD170 to DVX100 with no time to train ?
I have to use a DVX100 instead of a PD170 for a run an gun type shoot sadly i will have no time to play with the DVX beforehand
are there any traps to fall into with the DVX ?I will use it in interlaced mode
certainly looking forward to using it.
thanks

Not quite as much low light capability as with the PD and of course all of the buttons are in a different place. I’d advise spending at least one day shooting tests with a good monitor. Definitely not a point and shoot camera.

‘Definitely not a point and shoot camera’
That sounds bad news !
Why wont the DVX work as a point and shoot camera ?
is the auto focus and auto exposure no good ?
I thought the poor light performance was only in Progressive mode rather than interlaced is that not the case ?
The camera is only being used as a second camera to supplement a DSR500 as the main camera and it is for an event video shoot nothing filmic and no awards are expected !
I agree it would be nice to get a day to play sadly that cannot happen but i have managed to download the instructions from Panasonic so will read that.

It will work in full auto mode but you can’t expect the greatest results. The DVX100A is designed for prosumer/professional use and not full auto mode. Tons of settings on the cam that make shots look great. This is an easy camera to learn to use well but again- not point and shoot- same as the 500 it’s matching with.
