I have not seen this in the two I have...
If you were looking at a TV image, it is
more likely a convergence problem with the
TV (WAY too common!); if looking in the
eyepiece viewfinder, it's possibly viewing-lens
chromatic problems; if on the fold-out screen,
maybe a defective zoom lens on the camera
(it does happen...).

I have just started to take stills with
the VX-2000 (silly as that still seems to
me...;-), and so far, all are SHARP
(surprisingly sharp, so so far this has
not been a problem). I will try long-lens
shots soon, though, to check it out.
