I have the option of choosing between the two. Dug up some really old forums and there was no obvious winner between the two, and both had dated comparisons. Which one is better today?

I am using it mostly for skiing but for some independent film stuff as well. I need something durable for the cold. I am also not a fan of digital (HDD, Flash, SD) camcorders, unless someone can change my mind.

wow well, vx1000's are 14 years old, so i guess maybe go for a used vx2000? i got mine for 890 with a fisheye from ChronicLines. Or if you can find a dvc30 for cheap. idk man.

here is how the average camera thread goes:

1. OP asks about a camera in his price range and skill level

2: 20 people suggest a camera that is way more expensive and not what he wants. as in the HV30

stop just jumping on the HV30 guys and listen to what the OP is asking for.

I gave you my response in this thread you made in gear talk
