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.

dawg, no offense but you have no fucken idea what youīre talking about. how could possibly compare DVCPRO and HDV, and actually conclude that HDV is better? comparing the HVX to the Z1 is like comparing a M3 to a ford escort. 4:2:2 color space alone makes the whole difference. there is absolutely no amount of color correction in the world you can do to HDV footage, to make it remotely look like DVCPRO 50 or 100 footage.
HDV has so much compression artifacts to it, that is pretty much renders it shitty on output. you cannot try to squeeze HD footage on 25mbs DV tape without hella compression. compression simlply equals bad!
i would write more but iīm in brazil havin a good time. donīt be silly man. the Panny blows the fuckin Z1 no doubt. 4:2:2 vs 4:1:1 nothing to compare
i own both cams by the way. the Panny will change the way people shoot and think. want a tipo? donīt buy 8 gig cards. buy 4 gig cards, shot in 720pN (native) to get more footage on the cards. burn your 4 gig cards onto a single 4.5 gig DVD for backups/archive. works beatiful.
