I have this one, although its was a bit more expensive. Still very good for the price and works well. Like Brian said it edits XDCAM, m2t and 7D footage very well.

Yeah Noa I thought it probably a lot better, I've just never used the A1 so didnt want to over estimate the low light improvements. I know the Z5 is miles better than the Z1 in low light.

Hi Ben,

The reason why the picture looks better on the TV is to do with the fact the Z5 records in studio RGB, which is what TV use, compared to computer RGB.

Basically the colour mapping of...

Yeah they should have done a 16:9 SD version of the Z1 when they released the Z1. If they had it probably would have outsold it in the UK at least
