Response to DSR-200A vs VX1000(Is it worth the extra$$)

The DSR 200 is surely worth the extra $. Even though the optical system is the same and the extra tapa width may be irrelevant for a NLE user, just the fact that DSR 200 has balanced audio input makes all the difference. Also, it is a bigger camera with the right looks (to impress your clients) and is ideal for shoulder mount shots (the three battery holder providing just the right weight to make it stable). However, I must tell you that the VX1000 is a much handier machine if you are working in situations where smaller size can be of advantage (situations such as press conferences, places where the camera needs to be low profile, etc.). Finally, if you have enough resource, it is best to own both. Hope this is useful.
