I own the FX1 and VX 2100 .. Both excellent IMHO. Chris Chrishull3 has the FX7
Imnot sure what your budget is
I think the VX2100 is best for low light / low noise but lke the FX1 ( which is an excellent SD and not bad HDV performer) it is a few years Old
It is difficult to beat as all rounder too
Did you consider Canons XH A1.. it is very good indeed as is the Sony Z1

The best thing about the FX-7 is that it is almost a quarter or more lighter and smaller,i had a 2100 and the low light is good but i do little indoor work so it did not help me much,the FX-7s picture is hd so obviously it beats the 2100s i would also say the colour is a bit better as well,all the models you give are old to very old ?,are you thinking second hand if not i would go for the FX-1000 which is a very good prosumer cam.
