We have two of them (same lens too).
As far as low light- they cannont be beat. We use them for weddings and events as I am contiuously astounded by what they are able to do in low light. I grew up on Sony DSR-300's- while not as durable (or heavy) the image quality is the same. The lens is not very wide- but for weddings- it has not been an issue. How much? |

camera body,lens,tripod plate and viewfinder(apparently a lot of these are sold without a viewfinder, so the seller made a point of 'stressing' this) anyway, complete:$3,000.00...very clean.low drum hours...seem like a fair price to you??

Also- you will want to replace the mic with something better. The supplied mic, as with all pro cameras, is really just a place holder. That said- it is functional. |

Here's a very positive little story from a user of this camera:

I've had that lens. I believe it's just 72 mm diameter. A GY-DV5000 for $3000 is a steal if it's in good condition.
These cams are always with viewfinders, but the VF-116 viewfinder is a lot better than the 'standard' VF-115. Perhaps the seller meant to say there's a VF-116 on it?
