Panasonic's AG-DVX100 arrived in October 2002 as a MiniDV camera that could shoot at 24 frames a second, the frame rate of film. The A version was announced in November 2003 and went on sale in January 2004. Adam Wilt's notes list what changed: 16:9 recording in letterbox or squeeze modes from the 4:3 CCDs, adjustable knee and new gamma settings, a new prism with less flare, closer focus, peaking on the screens, a smoother zoom ring and three user buttons. Three 1/3-inch CCDs, a Leica Dicomar 10x zoom and two XLR inputs make it a full working camera. Murderball was shot on a DVX100A, and so was at least the first season of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The DVX100B replaced it in late 2005.
Tape check
Should come with it
Check the listing photos against this list, and ask the seller about anything you can’t see. A missing piece should come off the price.
Adam Wilt documents a few quirks on all DVX100 models: audio runs a few fields ahead of the picture, very saturated colors can show patterning, and the manual zoom needs a light touch. None of these mean a fault, but know them before you judge a test clip.

Buying guide
We'd buy the DVX100A titled tested with a remote and charger at $462 delivered, shown in a hard case, in the lower half of the $430 to $650 band. There are at least 16 listed, and the most complete tested kit, titled at 182 hours and shown with two batteries, the charger, cables, a remote and the manual, asks $584. Read the model plate in the photos for AG-DVX100A, ask for a short clip of a MiniDV tape recorded and played back, and ask whether both XLR inputs have been tried with a mic. Four listings here add $96 to $171 in shipping, so compare delivered prices. Skip the $336 one from a zero-feedback account and the $1,294 kit with a boom mic, about 2.5 times the median.
$462.08est. delivered
The lowest-priced DVX100A titled tested, at $462 delivered, and the photo shows a hard case, the charger, a remote and cables. The title doesn't say a tape was recorded and played, so ask for a clip of both and a photo of the model plate.

A tested camera with its charger, a remote and a hard case for less than the middle of the band. The cheaper listings either have no test claim or come from risky accounts.
