thanks Antony. we found a school with the DVX100A and are going to have
them shoot some footage for us in our presence and examine the results and
as you have suggested try to find an FX1/Z1U and/or a DVC60 to confirm some
of these issues. we were ready to make the purchase on friday but when all
this negative feedback came in and with the reviews we read, i ran scared
and entered the FUD zone and backed 'er down till next week to release the
order.
seen any footage in the conversion with music?
