With a little help from Google, I happened to find an illustrated brochure for the V1U on a Canadian website. It seems to have some helpful information.

Actually held the FX7 (Sister camera) today, at Frys. Gotta say, I liked the feel of the camera, and the form factor, as I thought I would.. Feels a lot like my VX2000.
