Reviews of the Panasonic AG-DVX100A

CNET Review
The Good: Array of frame-rate options, including 24P; advanced image and audio settings; wonderful viewfinder and control layout; wide lens.
The Bad: Limited battery life; lens is short for some applications; lacks true 16x9 chips; moderately tough learning curve; not the best in low light.
The Bottom Line: If you're looking for a MiniDV camera for pro-level videography with a film-like look, this 24P model is a top contender.
