Re: b/w viewfinder

: I am thinking about VX-2000 or PD-150. The XLR-mic-possibilities of the PD-150 are very fine, also the DVCAM-mode for important shots (I espessially would take the DV-mode because of alternating the cassettes between a PC-100 and the new one).
: The mono-mic of the PD-150 I could change to a stereo-mic, but I am not shure if I would be happy with the b/w-viewfinder. Is this an advantage or a disadvantage?
: Because of the hiss-problem I am afraid to take the VX-2000 (I would often like to use a Beyerdynamic 82 ECM).
: Thx for your opinions, Reinhard
I like the b/w view finder. It is not as good as one of the big camera b/w but it lets you eyes rest and is easy to manual focus with. I have viewed the VX-2000 color viewfinder and it is very clear and the color is excellent. I bought the PD-150 because I like factory XLR plugs and the choice of two independent channels. I also like the idea of being able to shoot DVCAM. Sony Professional is far easier to reach and talk to than their consumer division.
If I didn't think I needed any of those features I would opt for the VX-2000.
