I was just curious. Is there anyone in this forum that has started with the hvx200 and moved over to the hd100? From the footage I've seen, it seems to me the hvx has a better quality video image but the hd100 looks much more film-like. I know this is a dumb useless waste of forum space question, but please induldge me.

Actually most of the comparisons give the nod to the HD100. It's got more resolution. But the cams are more similar than different in terms of image quality.

As far as being film like? That's very subjective--most people can't even agree on what film like means. Most end up describing it the way a famous Attorney once described pornography. To paraphrase: "I can't define pornography, but I know it when I see it."| Ironically, both cameras are also good for shooting porno though the HD100 has an advantage for super extreme close ups and it's pro look will make you porno actors feel more "Hollywood."

Brian, this is funny! There aren't all that many posts here that make you laugh but your line: "...an advantage for super extreme close ups and its pro look will make you porno actors feel more "Hollywood." is really good. Just watch out for the Chris and other wranglers...they might throw us out from this court any time now...:-)
