Sorry about cross posting, but I didn't get any answers on the xl2 forum.
I have a Canon xl2, and might be doing a project with a guy who has an fx1. I have also been considering getting a z1 as a second camera.here are my questionsl:
1-has anyone shot with both of these cameras, and tried to match up their looks (assuming we both shoot in sd)?
2- I did a search and couldn't find anyone sharing their prest details for the z1/fx1. Lots of guys on the xl2 forum have grasciously listed their custom pre sets. Has anybody done this with these sony's?
Thanks

Also, is there a way to back up and store additional prestets on the fx1/z1?

How about this thread? http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthread.php?t=42973

You should also realize that there are parameters on the FX1/Z1 which are directly set through menus and not the picture profile. For example, color correction on the Z1 is potentially a very powerful feature which is seldom discussed. It allows you to choose either one or two colors and modify them.

I don't know of any way to backup or export the profiles stored in the camera.
