You can find critical reviews of the above camcorders on
my web page (look under the "I babble" index...), or at:
http://www.David-Ruether-Photography.com/camcorder-comparison.htm
(just happened to have that in memory after using it in another
post...;-). Both my VX-2000s are very quiet, but
mis-setting the in/out gains and listening through the
noisy headphone amp WILL produce noise - but not
in real-world recordings... Or, to put it another way, I
have two nice VX-1000s for sale...;-)
