And to be honest, I think you all are focusing on the wrong issues. It's not the camera that makes the shot great. It's not the hammer that builds the house... it's the craftsman.

A few years ago when I first started shooting I did not know hardly anyone in adult and had no portfolio. So I went to Vegas for the conventions and stuck a camera in Jenna Jameson's face. She took a liking to me and allowed me to shot tons of documentary Jenna footage on the DVX100. When a certain company saw this footage they kept asking me how I got such a great image quality. I refused to tell them so they just hired me as a shooter. After I shot enough to get a reel together I was given opportunites with most of the biggest companies who exist today. Had I been using the VX2100 (also a great camera for other reasons than just image quality) like everyone else my footage would not have stood out as much and who knows how much that would have changed things for me.
The HVX200 footage does not stand out like the DVX100 stood out so this is why I am not really a fanboy of any specific camera anymore. I think all of the cams mentioned in this thread are ultimately just about as good as the others. I would be a huge fanboy of the Sony EX1 if it were not for that cocksucking rolling shutter.
