The FX1 is great if you are creating content that will actually be relased on HD DVDs or Blue Ray (in the future).

HD for the web is complete bullshit. I can get better looking SD web video from pro SD cams then using these HDV cams. And I doubt any of you have used these HDV cams as much as I have. Rez is not everything.

Also the low light performance sucks balls compared to the VX2100 so if you are one of the masses who use "full auto mode" then you better make sure you subject is the brightest part of the picture or else the autofocus will not be reliable at all.

FYI, the cheaper Sony HC1 looks like dogshit when compared to the FX1 on a large screen HD monitor. So if you are going the HDV route then stick with the FX1/Z1.
