Vx2000 is a semi-pro version of the legandary vx-1000 (the big brother of the 900, that was sold almost exclusively to the porn industry, I kid you not)
Basically the Vx-2000 is happiest in "auto" mode, and can take some good video. You really end up forcing it to try to do things that a "pro" camera would (and by pro I mean $10k and up)...
If a PD-150 is in your price range for used I would REALLY look at that first if you like the look of Sony camera. Sonys put out a very clean "video"/bluish, over sharp look to it's images cause that what sell on the show room floor. It's not really what you want, but it's what sells. With that said I am a Sony fan(for anything designed before 2005). They make(made) VERY good camera.
All depend on what you want to do with it.
I'm a welth of knowledge on the topic. I've used a vx-2000 quite a bit, and been in the "biz" off and on years and years....

From what I have seen and experienced, and its not a professional opinion, I would save up a little more and get the Panasonic DVX100.Comment

i used the VX1000 i think back in HS and loved it. very user friendly, lightweight, and shot awesome quality. thats the only reason why im leaning to the SONY. anyone know of good place online to purchase them, under 1k though? used is fine.Comment
