The PD-150 was and is a great camera, but time marches on and the current generation of cameras offer a lot more control plus a better image, especially if you're working in 16:9.

I agree, but I'm not giving up my PD170.

In my opinion, it's the most perfect SD camera ever made.

Can't fault that collection of words. There were many pretenders to the 170's crown, but war correspondents invariably choose the toughest, most reliable and best in the gloom camcorder they can buy for the buck.
