Thinking of buying one of these (in the UK) for 'hobbyist' videos, plus
a few weddings for friends/family etc, the latter being the main reason
for wanting a camera of this type.

What are the groups opinions on this camera, and would I maybe do better
to look at other manufacturers offerings?

I like the look of the camera, as well as how it has been reviewed. I do
want a 'pro' looking machine!

TIA.

I don't have one but I have always wanted one.   I don't see how you
could go wrong by getting one.   It is the lowest priced SD camcorder
that works well in low light.    If you need a balanced audio
connections for an external microphone then you should probably get
it's big sister the PD170.

Absolutely the most bang for the buck. There are no alternatives in this
price range. I've been shooting with a VX2000, the nearly-identical
predecessor to the VX2100 -- amazing camera.
