I bit the bullet and bought a HVR-V1. Has replaced my PD150 and will
travel the globe with me for some time. The V1 has an amazing image in
terms of resolution and colour reproduction. The camera sees the world
like human eyes. The cool colour of Sony cameras is gone and is a
pleasing, natural and neutral. The images simply don't look like video
anymore.
There is a problem with European units in progressive mode. The dealer
I purchased it from rang me to say a fault in 25P had been reported and
Sony were working on a fix. Expect a memory stick firmware upgrade in
the near future.
Interlace mode is working perfectly and the images I've shot blow any
other compact HDV DVCPRO HD camera out the water.
The only down side are the 1/4 inch cmos chips and the resulting large
DOF. But, the resolution is so high the images jump out the screen.
The lack of smear is particularly nice.
So given the FX7 is a cut down version of the V1 I'd go FX7 over FX1.
