Selling my Sony DCR-VX2000 Digital Video Camcorder (MiniDV) $1100
A lot of people feel this is the best MiniDV camcorder ever made, and I love it. But I haven’t used it in the last year or so, and it is a waste to have it sit.
A great camera for an aspiring filmmaker or film student, it has a lot of great manual features that are uncommon on consumer camcorders. Can adjust the aperature, shutter speeds, manual focus and zoom (on lens), white balance, zebra pattern, etc. Has an color eyepiece as well as a flip-out LCD screen–a lot of camcorders these days just have the flip-out screen which isn’t always enough. You can also set it in automatic and just point-and-shoot for great results–it is easy to get great results even if you don’t have a lot of photography experience!
It is in very good overall shape, everything works perfectly including the on-off rotator switch (which I guess fails sometimes on these units). It has a couple of light scratches, but I’ve tried my best to take great care of it. The only thing I have to mention is that were the microphone mounts to the handle is cracked, but it works perfectly, just have to be a little careful when handling/packing (and obviously don’t drop it!) not to break it off. Under normal or even rough conditions you should be fine, but it is possible that it could break if mishandled. Sony does stock the replacement parts if this should happen and they are inexpensive.
