FS: Sony VX2100

[Scott Weberpal]

I just purchased a Sony FX1 so I'm parting with my VX2100. I have owned it for about a year and purchased it from a fellow ST member. The camera is in great working condition and good cosmetic shape with the only a few small scratches on the plastic hood. It comes with the original battery, NP-F730 extended life (still runs about 5 hours) battery, charger, manual, and kata case.

$1275 shipped.

Can you post the hours on the tape head?

Is there a way to check the hours on the VX2100? I know on the PD170 you can check the hours through the menu, but I don't believe the VX2100 has an hour meter. If anyone is aware of how to check it, I'd be glad to post the hours.

Pretty sure there is, I saw some on ebay I was looking at getting that had it displayed on the screen. Not sure how it's done though.

Just looked through the manual quick and didn't see anything. This is the best I came up with looking online...

"No, there isn't a menu item for that on the VX-2000 or 2100. However there is a way to find out if you want to spend a few bucks; get an RM-95. See the following:

I got that from http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/sony-vx2...nion/15294-how-can-i-check-hours-usage-5.html

I'm going to check with a few local camera shops and see if any of them have the gadget to check the hours. I purchased it from Bill Mudd, so you may be able to PM him to get a better idea of the history. I personally used it for last season and ran roughly 3 tapes through it, so I would estimate my usage to be on the order of 3-4 hours. When I purchased it from Bill, I believe he said it was about 2 years old.

I got a check coming in (hopefully in the next two weeks) I'll check back and see if you have sold it yet when I get it. If not I may be interested in it.

The VX2100 is tentatively sold. Got a PM from someone stating they'll send me a money order for it on Tuesday. I will mark the original post as "sold" when the money order arrives.
