I'm fully aware of the capabilities of both the AG-DVX100A and the HDR-FX1, but I've never had the pleasure of shooting with the DVX100A before. And when I shot with the FX1, the time was limited and I didn't really get to play with many of the features. I, like many others, am trying to get the ever elusive "film look" from video, and to that end I've narrowed my selection down to these two cameras. I don't plan on going to film for any of my stuff at this point, but I might consider it down the line. They're both in my price range, and the only real setback for the FX1 for me, is the lack of XLR ins. But I'm not against getting an adapter either. So we'll see.
What I'm wondering now is if anyone out there has had the chance to work with both of these cameras. I've read that the FX1's 1080i combined with the CineFrame24 mode is a better looking option than the DVX100A's true 24p shooting mode. I guess I'm kind of looking to see if anyone can support/disprove that. Anyway, if you have any info on the subject I'd appreciate it if you could share.
