Here are a few first-hand reports which offer general observations and evaluations of the Sony VX2000, the PD150, and the DSR250. Some of them come from usenet and mailing lists; some were sent directly to me. If you have your own detailed thoughts about either camera, based on hands-on experience, then by all means, send them my way and I'll post them here.
