cx100 optical & digital stabilization

[Pulse 0]

I've shot video for years. This year I've decided to stop looking for the 'perfect' solid state camera.

I'm looking at buying a cx100. My understanding is that there are optically and digitally stabilized cx100's. I also understand there were problems with the optically stabilized models.

How do I know what I'm getting? Any help would be appreciated.

I'm pretty sure all cx100s are electrically stabilized.

That's my understanding as well.

I have a cx100 and it is EIS..I believe all the cx 100-105 are EIS...
I never heard about OIS...

get a CX110 before they are all gone, much better than the CX100. You'll need an SD card.
The CX150 is the same but with internal memory, and more expensive.
Best lens for it is the Century 0.55:

Good luck.

Why is this the 'best' lens? .55 is a bit wider than I really like shooting. But there's always the zoom.

The biggest pro for cx100: you can really switch off the E(Electr.)IS in air.
But i dont know if there is a non HD wide angle lens you can zoom through.

AND you can access the cad from the side of the camera.
