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.
So you're saying I would be better off sticking with my Canon GL2 since I will only be shooting for the web and not doing DVDS or anything like that?
