Just bought 2 100A, good Bye Betacam SP. My back is so happy, my chiropractor not so much!!. We are currently shooting a weekly national show with the 100A. I am very pleased with the results. Problems, The audio jack of one of the cameras was giving us problems. We could not monitor the audio with the headsets. When i took it to be repair, the technician told me that it was the second camera with the same problem. The good news was that I thought it would take a couple of weeks to get it back, instead it took 2 days. This is the best camera in the market. Beats the Sony 170 and VX 2000, I own both, great cameras though. Thought about buying a Sony Z1 but the quality is not as good as the 100A. Don’t get me wrong, shooting in HDV the Z1 looks beautiful,very clean, but i love the 24p look, I don’t have a need for HDV yet. I will pay for this cameras very fast and by then “maybe” we jump to High Def. The demand is not as much and maybe by then the HDV cameras will be cheaper and better.
Get the camera.
