I also have a D50 and have been tempted by the D100 but have heard about qu=
ite a few users having various problems with them, resulting in quite a few=
machines going back to Sony for replacement. Sounds like once you get a de=
cent one, they are good, but beware of possible teething issues.
If PIP mics are your main use, the D100 might be overkill for the price vs =
potential improvements over D50 (assuming you can find a second hand one to=
buy)
I have seen D50=92s go really cheap on ebay, so there are definite bargains=
to be had=85.but they are becoming more rare now, and I guess there is a d=
anger it might die like yours has=85
What happened to your D50 that killed it then?
