Note, this mode does produce "correct" anamorphic footage, and NOT letterboxed footage (despite the appearance of the letterbox in the viewfinder and screen for framing purposes).

There is a slight loss in vertical resolution, but it's small, so: try it first, before you commit to a decision.

I own a VX2100. The anamorphic mode looks horrendous on my daughter's 52" plasma.............horrendous.
