what's the best forum or website to get the latest "skinny" on this HD camcorder? I need to know user feedback and professional testing results. What reputable store has the best price? B&H has it for $4,900. thanks

Ed: you're already there (this thread moved from Panasonic DVX / DVC board).

Best forum: This one. Start browsing!

Best site: This forum's parent site at www.hdvinfo.net. Hope this helps,

Well of course we'd like to think that you've already found the best forum right here! (I moved your post to our Z1 forum since you put it in the DVX-100 forum). See also our HDVinfo.net (http://hdvinfo.net/) site for more information on the Z1.

We strongly urge you to purchase from our sponsors, such as B&H. You'll find a full list here: http://www.dvinfo.net/sponsors/index.php
