I just ordered my vx2100. Im extremely excited! i was wondering if there was book i could purchase that gives an indepth guide on how to use the cameras functions. One that touched on tricks and techniques also would be awesome. I would just like to learn to use this camera to its full potential. Any suggestions?

Don't know about a book, but this site is a good place to start. The PD-150 and PD-170 are pretty much the same as the VX-2100 with the exception of the audio features: http://www.urbanfox.tv/workbooks/sonypd150/index.htm

There's a Training DVD about the VX2000 (which is exactly the same as VX2100)
