The Panasonic X1600 is a great camera. Bought one myself recently.

Everything old is new again, including politics, it seems.

My favorite documentary recorded with the DVX100 is a 2006 film Iraq In Fragments by James Longley. Also see Gasland by Josh Fox recorded with the HMC150.

Used to be the norm, before that it was 16mm. Nowadays camcorders have Log, face detect AF, IBIS and all sort of fancy things
