i would love to but we have to get 3 of 'em and with Canon's new XLH1 with
HD - - AND - - 1.67million pixels, i want at least ONE of those so i think
we'll opt for the FX1's for now and then sell one of 'em and get the Canon
when it is released later this year, CAUSE i just hate fixed lenses. i'm a
biggie fan for removables/adjustables when it comes to controlling focus and
field :o)

i do like the Z1U though :o)
