Now let's hear what actual users of sony dcr-vx2100 digital camcorders have to say about it:

"Excellent camera geared towards the action sports/ adventure filmmaker" Dan C. (NJ, USA) "...I craved for more manual control, an easier layout, a more stable camera, and full and in-depth control over white balance and focus. The sony dcr-vx2100 digital camcorders fulfilled all these requirements spectacularly...

...This camera has a great layout. From the zoom and focusing ring near the front of the camera to the record button and zoom rocker on the handle, to the dedicated Audio and White Balance buttons on the back, everything is easy to find, well labeled, and intuitive in its placement...

...This camera has some of the most indepth manual features of nearly any prosumer camera on the market today. As I stated before, this camera is mostly button instead of menu driven, it saves so much time when you're at a spot and you only have about 5 minutes to get the shot, you just hit the dedicated white balance button and !voila!, vibrant and accurate color reproduction at the touch of a button. The focus and zoom both give the right amount of resistance when turning, making it easy to get the exact focus and zoom that you want....

...This camera is just the right size when it comes to handheld filming. Most of the weight of the camera is towards the front, but is perfectly balanced from the top handle... ."

"A Good Piece of Equipment with a few quirks" John L. (Texas, USA) "Sony dcr-vx2100 digital camcorders is easy to use and makes a good quality recording. Since it is an upper end product, it does have a longer learning curve than more simple models but the effort is worth it for the added features...

...There are a multitude of things that could be done to make the interface on this camera easier to use but it is usable as it is now..."

"Competition for the XL1S!" Nick P. (California, USA) "Sony dcr-vx2100 digital camcorders are fierce competition for Canon's XL1S. It has the features you need, the Sony name, and flawless transfer. WARNING!: This is NOT for the amateur home videoer. The parameters are begging to be tweaked - just for fun. Settle for a Handycam if you're just filming Billy's soccer game. This one right here is made to be USED. Good for media students, career filmers/editors, and anyone who wants to REALLY have some interesting fun..."

Conclusion...

Sony dcr-vx2100 digital camcorders are a great video camera. I speak from personal experience as I used one to film the video sequence "Hollywood At Home' found on the home page. Not difficult to use and giving clear, crisp pictures. Sony dcr-vx2100 digital camcorders are easy to handle and not intimidating at all... Great camcorder.
