I wanna start filming some stuff. Like some jibbs jumps maybe some runs etc. But not for a super duper movie or something. I've never filmed before so I dont want to spend a lot of money and than realise that it is not something for me.
So I just want a nice starting camera...

I'm pretty sure a vx2100 is not a starter camera.

go with pretty much any cheap mini dv camera (cannon zr series are good) and get a wide angle lens for it
