I’ve tried 3 different DVX-100s so far with the same result. I’m with ya on a digital still camera being better for this. I plan to get one. But, right now, I have the DVX-100 and VX-2000 cameras at my disposal. I prefer the DVX for it’s HD capabilities, but am having a hard time getting anything out of it. One thing though. I noticed that the 2 closeups I shot are crystal clear. I think I was fairly close to the model and didn’t zoom back out much to frame. Also, I’ve noticed that at almost any Fstop/shutter combination I use, I can turn the focus ring in one direction and the image blurs, but in the other direction, I can turn forever without any noticable difference in the focus. If I go way up on the Fstop, say 11 or so, I can see some focus range in that direction.
Still searchin for an answer.
