To say the Z1 is "garbage" compared to that or ANY other camera currently available for less than $10k has got to be a joke.

If your argument is for web use I can almost understand where you're coming from. I know for months you have been knocking HDV cameras and the viability of the content for web use, but come on man, get with the times. Those $700.00 cameras people buy from Best Buy or ChumpUSA that tout HDV "capabilities" and "life-like 24p" shooting mode, those are nothing like the professional level Sony models out for purchase now.

The Z1 is equal to or better than the Panny shown above, and that comes from someone who has actually used both, and prefers the Sony for many, many reasons.
your a really nice guy but you dont know what your talking about ,the panny blows the z1 away and it shoots in real hd not a crap hd like format made for comsumers which hdv is. Sony does not shoot in true 24 p to get the features of the panny you would have buy a varicam which is much more expensive. I have seen footage shot from both by professionals not gonzo porn makers and the hdv is weak.
