bad, bad camera. need repairman Can't Post

Unsure i need the name of a reputable repairman for my sony vx 2000. taped a beautiful wedding and when i got home prepared to edit a preview of the wedding for the family and the taping is horrible. the audio cuts in and out and the video has pixels popping in and out. also the edges of the tape are a little different speed than the center. taped on 2 tapes they are both the same. viewing screen showed no problem as i filmed. i thought maybe it's just that camera and the tape is really ok. no fat chance. it does the same thing on 2 other cameras. so i guess i have to send it in for repairs. have gone the armatos route before but then they sent a camera to sony, so i'd rather try and deal with an authorized top notch sony man from the beginning.
thanks for any suggestions.

Judy: I bought a used VX1000 last year and a few months later it did some squirrely stuff too. Found through a google search a place called Camcorder Clinic in Tampa FL... the guy was great, price reasonable (a lot better than Sony), but it took him two months to fix it.
Try to find them.... it's a good option in my opinion.

Good luck!
