I've been using an FX-1 with an external mic (the on-camera mic sucks bad). It is not as good in low light as say the standard def VX-2000/2100 series cams, but if you are filming hdv, why are you using low light anyway, unless you are filming documentary style in a dark bar or someplace like that?
I know that I now use double or triple the amount of light to light my sets now as I used to with standard def filming. And that really makes the images pop. All the cameras mentioned can produce a good image, if lit and handled properly. The technological competition is great for the industry as a whole, although as an individual producer I know that I am working harder to shoot the same scenes and longer on editing and encoding as technlogy advanced from SD to HDV.
