Hello,
How much manual image control does the V1U offer? I know you can do just about anything with the XL2's image.

Thanks,
Luke

Never got answered, so I'm moving it to the top.

The camera has full manual control.
As far as image options (different than manual control) the V1 has a lot of depth, but the XLH1 is a bit deeper, the menu options far more complex.
