Pro Photo 2400 R. Acute 2 outfit cost around $3000 from Samy's and are worth the money believe me. The quality of the flash output far exceeds any other flash outfits i have used in the last 20+ years of shooting Glamour. I have used Photogenics flash and besides the fact that they will not stand up to hard professional use they are mono lights, which in simple terms means you have a lot of weight sitting on top of your light stand, should they accidentally get knocked over they will do some serious damage and the price is not so much less than the Pro Photo out fit at almost $900 per head for the 2500 heads plus stand plus reflector etc. etc. If you have the cash go for the Pro Photo outfit Try Samy's in LA they did me a great deal on two outfits last year. The dual voltage is very cool as i shoot in Europe and the USA.
The Nikon x1 is a good camera but the 5.71 meg size is now showing its age I hear rumors that a new larger size Nikon is on its way this spring so it may be worth waiting a few months.
Although i have used Nikon for 20 years if i where starting out now i would choose Canon. The image quality is great and more important their customer service is excellent.
