I was about to by HVX, but then a friend of mind recommended me to look for HD 200.

What is the difference between HD 100 and HD 200? Im going to use a camera for shooting music videos for Baltic MTV. I'll attach M2 also. I know that HVX can do a really nice film look picture, but whats about HD 100 and HD 200?

thanks!

The 200 adds 720/50 and 60P encoding as well as an image flip option when Prime Lenses are attached so that the image is recorded correctly to tape. There are enhacned cine-gamma options and I believe HD/SDI outs. The Blue Alpha Channel also records much better thanks to the HD200's super encorder. None of this diminishes the HD100 since I have it, but these are the main changes.

HD/SDI outs are on the HD250 only

If I remember correctly HD110/1 has the ability to flip image in viewfinder and on LCD screen when used with non flipping DOF adaptors like Redrock and Brevis etc?

There was another interesting thread regarding HD100 vs HVX200 (http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthread.php?t=81329) that made me think to get HD111E instead of the XHA1 as they both are in the same low end price range. But HD100 and the like would yield in better return of investment alone.
