Looking to buy used video camera

[Steven Marshall]

Im in the market for a back up news camera. Some of you who have upgraded to HD, nows the time to dust of that old 3 chip camera! I am specifically NOT looking for HD...dvcam is best for my uses. I am currently using a Sony PD 170, love it but with 3000 hours on it, I need something newer. I missed an unbelievable chance at a Sony DSR 250 and thats my prefered replacement. So if you have an older news style camera, let me know. Heres what I need;
must have an LCD screen
firewire output
still pic capable
prefer a minidv format or a dual format like the DSR 250 shown below.
A low hour Sony PD 170 would also work.

Would a VX2100 meet your needs. Might have a lead on one of those.

Opps should have listed that its also got to have XLR audio inputs. So I guess the vx2100 wont do. Thanks for thinking of it though!

Im still smarting from the missed chance on the DSR 250...due to a communications mix up, I missed the chance for a package deal that was about $8000 when new...that sold for just $879 on ebay. Grrrr.

I'm not familar with all the features but Bart Comstock has a Canon XHA1s he was trying to sell awile back. I'll get ahold of him and have him look at your post and see if it meets your needs, if you don't already know.

eBay can cause depression like that sometimes.
