on how and when to use all the features of the A1?

Thanks............JD

Likewise, any tutorials for the HC1? Somebody knows?

We could set up a wikipedia-like set of tutorials for both A1 and HC1... Many features are common, others not.

It would be great to find one web page with basic cheat-sheet setups for common shooting issues (i.e. filmic, low light, sunsets, action, etc.). You know - like the QBs in the NFL wear on their arm - a playlist?? LOL. I am a newbie and know that much of this will come through experience - just a shot in the arm. tks

Here's two. Post a review if you get it!

Funny that a wiki was mentioned. I started (about a week ago) a wiki for moviemaking. I am trying to write short and just the main point of a term. For what it's worth, here's the main page http://www.apollologic.com/wiki/ and http://www.apollologic.com/wiki/index.php?title=Sony_HDR-HC1 is the HDR HC1 specific page. If you have anything to contribute feel free to do so. I am trying to add stuff as fast as I learn and find out. It's not much at the moment though...

Does the HC1 really need a video tutorial? I figured the A1 would take precedence since it contains a lot more features.

Couple more from Class On Demand (http://www.classondemand.net/ClassOnDemand/handsonhdv/handson01.aspx).

My FX1/Z1 Handbook also covers the A1 and HC1.
