Wow, I should have bought less stuff in general and bought better stuff! I decided to take the plunge and buy this, the last of the great SD camcorders, because I wanted to get good video of indoor events, like birthday parties, Christmas mornings, and weddings.
I just recorded my first wedding with this unit. It was performed in a converted barn with the light so low that candles were placed along the aisle for ambiance. There was also some narrow, small and bright track lights about two thirds of the way toward the ceiling and on either side.
I cranked the gain up to +12 just so I could see everything through the LCD monitor, shot the wedding, and hoped for the best.
Well, now I'm watching it and there's not graininess and the colors are accurate. It's like I'm right back there. I'm sure no consumer grade unit could have pulled this off.
Sure, the learning curve is a bit steeper, but it's not bad. There are likely features you'll never use, and it is possible to damage the unit if you don't know what you're doing, so it's a good idea to really study the manual when you first get it. And by all means get an external microphone. It makes a huge difference.
Camcorder, about $2500. Footage, priceless.

I've used this camera for 3 years and it has not failed me. With its 3 ccd chips, picture quality is outstanding. The ability to save presets is practical, and the camcorder offers multifarious choices for the versatile types of shots one would like to achieve. It is perfect for some higher quality filmmaking, which is what I used it for. If you don't believe me, watch a film I've made with it: [...]
The film also shows decent performance in lower light situations by the dvx.
I'm moving on to hd, but I really don't think there are better sd cameras out there that offer true 24p/30p at such high quality picture. The only possibly negative thing is the mic, but almost all internal mics on camcorders aren't that good anyway.
Overall, highly recommended. Excellent gains for the price.

In the age of HD this camera is still rock-solid and holding it's own. Stunning SD image, great features and laid out logically.

I did a great deal of research before I bought my DVX100B. With the rising popularity of HD, prices on the DVX will be dropping. It is still a very versatile camera. Images are excellent and the camera is easy to use. Check out the DVX User website.

The camera allows for tons of control (exposure, white balance, sound levels, stereo, light filtering, auto or manual focus, external xlr mics, etc.). Overall it's a great camera that allows you to get the shots you need. The handle zoom and record button are great for low shots with the LCD giving a full vibrant image. When you hold the dvx-100b in your hands it's well balanced and sturdy so you know it can handle some wear and tear.
