Hi group. I've posted under some other headers looking for comparisons
between the Sony FX1 nad Sony Z1U and found there to be little difference
and thus wanted to know if anyone else has used the Sony FX1 for broadcast
quality material? Or, if anyone out there knows what we're wanting to do
witll work?

We currently use 12 year old Sony cameras (expensive in their day) and Sony
Betacam recorder and do a "live" production through Sony switching and
mixing panel(s) and want to go to post production so that we don't have to
start over every time when something goes wrong :o)

Thus, we want to convert to the Sony FX1's recording to DV, then capture the
footage into Liquid Edition or Canopus Edius Pro 3, then edit and dub out to
DVD, Sony Betamax SP and Sony SVHS formats for delivery to our local,
nationwide, and satellite networks and want to see if there are any who can
confirm that the quality of the programming will not be sacrificed (and
maybe even improved :o) from our present arrangement.

Please help and many thanks in advance.
