Panasonic DVX100/A/E used for Chapelle Show? at DVinfo.net

Hey, I was watching the first season of Comedy Central's Chapelle Show on DVD and in one of the deleted scenes, they don't stop filming for a bit because Dave Chapelle is saying something funny to one of the other actors (I think this was the deleted scene for the "Player Hater's Ball") and in the background, it looks like one of the camera guys is holding a DVX100 or PD170 or some kind of handheld DV camera like that! I think it's a DVX100 because it has that "a whole lot o' buttons"-look when compared to the PD170. Am I right? Is this a DVX100/A/E? Would this be a good DVD to get an idea of the DVX100's look?

I actually had the question if the skits that are performed on the Dave shapel show were done with the dvx. I figured it was either the dvx or the panasonic HD 24p camera because the skits are definatly shot in 24p. I highly doubt it was the pd150/170 as the look is much different. You are probably right about them using the dvx.

Well, hey, I figured it had to be either the DVX or some prosumer camera like that because it was handheld. That's all I'm sure about.
