Advantages: HDMI, Manual Settings, Large LCD Screen, Quality steady shot, Battery Life Disadvantages: No XLR Input, Battery charges on camera
...2001 I've been using the Sony VX2000E camera, which was labelled as a pro-sumer model because unlike a small compact handicam, the VX2000E was the top end of Sony's consumer models. Anyone that buys a car knows that if you are ever fortunate enough to buy a brand new car, you always want to try and stay at that level, well the same is true for me and cameras, I'd got the best that I could afford back then and when considering what to replace it with, ... ...again.

Advantages: HDTV output Disadvantages: No XLR output. Small CMOS size.
...simply a upgraded product from sony aiming at high-end consumer or smei-prosumer market. Here are a few weakness I found on the camera:
1/4'' 3CMOS Lense. It's not even as good as FX1E's 1/3''. No XLR professional sound input. It won't transfer Data in HDV format with it's i-link firewire. You will have to use component. The only good thing about this version is that it has HDTV output which allows you to view the footage directly on High Definition ...
