Run and Gun and Theatre taping
Is the DVX100 suitable for an occasional run and gun shooting? I might want to go out and tape a few random interviews on the street for a documentary that I'm shooting. Which auto functions will suffice, or would I have to adjust everything manually (assuming I'm shooting in 60i)? From all the buzz about the Cine-modes, I've gotten the impression that this cam is solely for making movies, but surely its possible to get good spur of the moment shots with it, right?
Also, I plan on shooting a few plays at my school. If I'm shooting from approx 20 yards away at a 30 degree incline from the stage, should I be able to get decent zooms? Or would I have to go for a tele lens? |

In 60i mode, it got a reasonably good autofocus, iris and white balance. Probably not the best run and gun camera made, but it certainly works by the reports.
I don't shoot 60i myself, but I also think if you have experience with manual shooting, you can run and gun in progressive mode as well. Just like shooting 16mm or Super 8mm... |

Is it comparable to, say a PD150? Or are these two separate beasts with two separate implementations?

I would say it's pretty close to PD150 based on some other reports here. Search for PD150 in this forum...
