I've read were in the earlier versions of the VX2000 it's audio hissed, but not later on. What month in production did the hissing end and the non-hissing begin? If I buy the VX2000 how can I tell which one to buy? Is there a date on the camera when it was made and what "starting" month to look for the non-hissing model?

Thanks
Bill

It didn't end with the VX2000, 150 and 250. Sony did come out with a fix, but this only fixed it a little. The best solution for the VX2000 is the BBC fix. On the other hand, the hiss isn't that bad, more like ssssssss, than hissssss. Another option is going with a good mic, like the Senn ME66 and the Beachtek adaptor (DXA-4).

Thanks Frank for such a prompt response!

From what I hear the VX2000 is great in low light which makes it good for wedding videography, which I am interested in learning more about and possibly getting into.

So I guess the audio is liveable and the adjustments that could be made seem to be minor.

I am thinking of buying my first 3 chip camera and if I do I would like it to be a wise choice.

Thanks
