HD video cameras.

Mike, based on the reviews I have read, I think the Sony HVR-Z1U is a sweet camera with some nice features that the HDR-FX1 doesn't have including switchable b/w & color viewfinder; simultaneous display capability for the eyepiece & flip out screen; and XLR audio inputs.

In the meantime, I have held off on buying an HDV camera until I have a pressing need, or a client that wants to pay the bucks needed for the production. I'm also eyeing the new dual-core Pentium processors as my next editng workstation for HDV. After that just need to buy the plug-in for Premiere and enough hard drive space and I'm off to the races.
