Why does it say it has xlr inputs?

Because that's the "pro" version, not the FX1. The "pro" version also includes DVCAM recording capability, which you'll see listed on the brochure.

And, for Murph, this is the brochure I was talking about before, which references the "pro" version but also says that it's HDV.

Gee, I'll get in the act too...

Here's direct links to the Sony web sites for product description, specs, etc:

Sony HVR-Z1U 3CCD 1080i HDV Camcorder

Sony HDR-FX1 HDV Handycam® Camcorder

Haven't seen these elsewhere here (but maybe I missed them).

Thanks, D.S.E.

I ordered your "HDV: What You NEED to Know" Book. Your web site only offers the option for a discounted 1st edition, but I was able to order the 2nd edition from Amazon.com .

Cool. The first edition is great, but the second goes deep into how to use the cameras, cutting with HDV, toys (matte box, etc.), audio, etc.
