I have been researching these cameras, and this is pretty much what I have found. I have seen some other requests so I thought I would post it for interested parties.
PDP-150 has:
* XLR inputs.
* mono xlr mike as standard
* ability to set gain on mike L & R inputs independently
* black pedestal setup selection (0 or 7.5 ire)
* complete ability to control gain, shutter and iris settings independently
* hi-res b&w viewfinder for accurate manual focus
* dvcam support
* user set drop frame & non-drop frame timecode when using dvcam tapes
* 2 lux sensitivity (vx2000 is 4 lux)
* 2db better s/n ratio (according to sony specs)
* smear improved by 1/3
* potential that the audio hiss in manual mode has been fixed ;)
* apparently a better lens, though I don't know for sure
Maybe some more, maybe some less....
I decided to go for the pd150, B&H have them for $3500, and the VX2000 for $2500.
