I dont think Ill be shooting any weddings unless its a friends, which seems to be the main arguement over the 4lux.As far as the price those 3 are all in my range Ive just read so many arguments between the FX7 and the VX2100 and time is kind of a big deal right now so I need to pull the trigger on one.

I don't have a lux meter but 4 lux has got to be dim. I shot in a room lit by a 60 watt bulb and wasn't expecting much. I had no problems shooting, camera didn't seem to hunt for focus, etc. WAY better than I expected from what I'd read. I plan to take the camera out at dusk in the next week and shoot as a test.
One thing, if you decided on a FX7, since everyone (B&H, Amazon, Adorama) seems to be selling the FX7 for list price ($1999, U.S.) you might want to look at buying direct from Sony if you're thinking of getting the extended warranty. I bought the 3-year with accidental damage and discovered it would have been cheaper had I bought the camera from them for some reason.
Normally, I pass on extended warranties but a friend just paid a chunk when the Firewire port stopped working on his JVC. Six months later the main control switch broke and that repair cost a bit. He said spent $700 total. I mentioned to him that I was debating on the extended warranty and he shouted, "GET IT!" He's cheaper than I am, so I did. :-)
