Sony HXR-NX100 Question at DVinfo.net

Is the Sony HXR-NX100 good for dance and ballet shows? Usually there is some lighting (theater) and I have usually used smaller chip cameras on auto focus with focus over-ride.

Do you guys think the camera is okay for ballet, dance, or sports? Where there is quick motion and the Auto Focus may need to be used sometimes? I use manual a lot too, but sometimes I use the AF when there is a lot of movement. I don't want to have to bring a monitor to pull focus either if possible.

I like the price and I have had Sony gear for years. Looking to replace some old tape cameras. I also use the HXR-NX3 which works out pretty well for those sort of events.

Thanks!
