The DSR 200 is based on the VX1000, which offers

a very good picture, but one that is not quite

up to the current crop of Mini-DV small cameras

like the Sony VX2000/PD150, Sony TRV950/PDX10

(good light only), Panasonic DVX100, Canon GL2,

and JVC DV-GY300. These can be fitted with XLR

adapters, if they do not already have them...

For a comparison of the VX2000 and VX1000

pictures, go to:
