why the sony dcr vx1000 is one of the best camcorder?
39 of 46 found this helpful I love this camcorder.I use , repair ,refurbish it for years.I deal hundreds of this camcorder, and work around them, will just tell you more about inside of it.I belive you know how to get the image ,or sound test results from many expert users, some wrote many picture and sound ,side-by-side comparison with other brand etc.I do not see a repair technican tell any inside camcorder story yet, hope other vx1000 repair techinican can correct me if I made a mistake here.Please send me your comment or correction to me by emails, your email will be be reply as soon as possible but give me a few days .If your email is not replied, try to send me through other way, your original email may possible be blocked as spam.When sony made it in 1995, there is no competition in the market , it is less important to reduce the cost of making it.The factory can sell it for USD$4199, and it sell well.The first 3CCD miniDV camcorder use magnesium alloy body, rugged and light weight.This like a big solid fundation of a house,it give a strong support of everything on top.All the tape mechanism, camera lense Assy ,boards are nicely rest on the body.In today's market, many camcorder are made cheap with a lot of plastic body or parts.The plastic parts can save the cost of making the camcorder.The plastic is light also,but the plastic can crack, can change the shape and we do not see many plastic car on the road yet.This is one of the reason that I love the vx1000.You may not agree with me,right? you may tell me that the vx1000 view finder go blank easy, why you still rate excellent?I guess the original version view finder cable is a weak point and goes bad a lot,so you can disagree with me.Well, the view finder can still last up to a few years if you do not move the view finder up and down very often and very fast.Nothing last for ever,the lucky thing is at the time of the view finder cable problem, it does not affect your video or sound quality,so your import event tape will not totally trash! When you get a new version view finder cable, this will not be a problem any more.Then we will deal with more user related-problem.We see many unit has a vtr controls not function,the VTR controls are easy break if the user mover the Lid close or open often, when it goes bad, you will not be able the press the Play,REv,F.F,Pause etc.If use the camcorder to do edit, it is sure not a good idea to buy vx1000, the camcorder is NOT design to do edit job, it is best to use it as a high video quality camcorder,I do not suggest you use the vx1000 to do any VTR function at all, buy a super cheap minidv camcorder to do the VTR's revwind or playback ,edit your video on your computer, your vx1000 will last much longer.when I get the broken VTR controls unit for repair,I suggest the customer do not fix the problem.Another comman problem is cleanning, just like any other camcorder, vx1000 need cleaning often, it has automatic video head cleaning but it still need manual cleaning , use the best tape only, one bad tape can damage your vx1000 in less than 1 second.Many repairs such as broken bayonet mount,broken eject buttons ,water damaged ,broken micphone head,broken dv port are caused by abuse, misuse or mishandling.Problem of audio skip need to be mention as many user ask me about it, my answer is it can be nothing wrong--you use bad tape,or big problem of video head, or something else like a bad connection.Tape path tuneup is yearly job,keep it tuned.

vx2000 price is low when you need high quality video
5 of 13 found this helpful when you need high quality video(broadcast quality), this dcr vx2000 is very low on the price.Since the unit came out a few years ago, we have chance now to do some repair .We did some physical damaged, water damaged unit, we also see some defect parts such as ccd,lcd.The mechanic is not as strong as vx1000, audio drops are more often happy than vx1000.there are some upgrade parts now and hope the unit can last longer than it is original.The vx2000 video at low light is better than the old vx1000,it is a good thing to have a flip out LCD screen.The tape in/out position is on the right handside together with the hand strap, make it not easy to get the tape out or in unless you release the hand strap first. there are some extra functions that you may never need for your professional shoot.It is great idea to use some other unit to do playback, do not use this vx2000 to do any playback because you do not want to cut the vx2000 lift in half.

dcr trv900 great video
6 of 6 found this helpful I like this camcorder.when it is working, the video is great, at very low light, it still show the object color. the vx1000 need much more light than trv900.The most often seen problem on this camcorder is audio drop, cause from low back tension, post guide,dirty capstan motor shaft.the other problems are strange color,loss focus ,zoom etc, relate to two power filters.if you are buying this model, try to get some info about the upgrade parts (post guide,filters), if your unit is refurbished , you will be OK . you can check ebay's gold power seller refurbished electronics to pickup your refurbished dcr trv900
