What do you think about Panasonic AG-DVX102BEN?

[HappyTogether]

Hi everyone,

I am thinking of purchasing AG-DVX102BEN.
Hardly found any reviews through Google...

Greatly appreciate if you have any comments on the camcorders.

Awesome camera - indeed it is one of the cult cameras with a loyal following.

It's only shortcoming is that it doesn't shoot HD, but I realize that all the HD in the world does not matter if your controls are lacking and/or the rest of the camera cannot make it and the shot gets botched pro audio and pro controls absolutely matter.

Be prepared for a learning curve and an investment in time to master the camera, but it will reward you.
