Only a 10x Zoom and one that ramps from f3.5 to f6.3 at that.

A bit more money buys you the PXW-X160 or X180. Much better optics

hi bob, yes, i know i still owe you (multiple) lunch ;-)

only asked cause one of my clients asked me about it. personally i'd opt for the 180, but i'm still dealing with clients who want tape....

Then the first question I'd ask of the client is "What do you want to shoot with it?"
There's really no dud cameras on the market and they're all good value for the money. It's just a matter of finding the one that best fits the needs and budget.

If the budget is tight, the HXR-NX3 is a great camera with a 20x zoom.

i got one, and i like a lot. the standard lens is good enough as is 18mm (24.. equiv) as i need wide lenses. i think i never needed it at 200mm.

ten i put my sigma 18-35mm f/1.8... and damnnnn is good to be a gangsta....

only thing missing is ability to smooth chance ISO manually on the scroll instead of using the 3 way switch. and 2 SD slots, instead of SD + FMU128
