I wholeheartedly agree Steve. If I did video work where there wasn't a flash going off beside me all the time, then the Sony is a fine choice.
But since my main source of income is weddings, RS is a big issue for me.

It's an interesting debate for sure and if most of your work invloves situations where it is most likely to be an issue, it makes sense to avoid it.
I recently shot a stage production where there were quite a few camera flashes going off at various times in the audience but I haven't seen any instances of RS in the footage yet (from capture). However, as I progress through editing, who knows what I might find. More of an issue for me is balancing the sound from the different performances for editing in from different angles (that's the main problem with "live" performances - no multiple takes possible other than from multiple performances. Can be a real PITA when you don't have total control over the sound and lighting as well. Obviously, it's all controlled by the backstage crew, so even when you take a sound feed from their mixer - it can still fluctuate as they tweak it for their purposes (at the end of the day, they are trying to produce the best for their stage performance - not for your recording of the event!).
If I do any more of these, I think I'm going to have to invest in a seperate field recorder for audio (as I recall someone suggesting on here some time back) :-)
