    A very nice camera but too expensive for me, the FX 1000 is even more affordable. and for me it goes well. if they were cool and the FX 1000 from Sony would show.

    I m expecting my z5 tommorow. but now im thinking for $600 more i can get a z7! I dont need to chang the lens but the z7 come with the digital memory standard. To purchase one on a z5 is about $1400. so Im gonna ask. is it worth sinding back the z5 for a z7? I also hear the z7 has some nice spfx!

    you will most definitely enjoy your HVR-Z5 i am sure. You can’t go wrong. did you buy the MRC1K module to complete the equation?if you are not planning on the lens interchangeability, i would say go for the HVR-Z5.

    I sent the z5 back in exchange for the z7! the z7 has a flash card memory unit standard. I havent taken much footage outdoors yet but i am shooting at world of wheels sunday? when I make some money i will upgrade to an external hard drive

    if sony want a big market then they should stick with the old price(4000 USD) and not raise it which people can’t even effort it ,i would like to buy one if i still got a job on December.

    Buy the FX1000, lot cheaper! Same quality, but you only need some Durex to work with it!Search YT for HDR-FX1000
