I saw a FX1 at a Apple store once. It was awesome video. You should like it.

Sony's just frustrated that they're wrong putting interlaced HD chips in their cameras and they don't want to admit it. Sony needs to suck it up and start doing progressive, the right way. They're going kaikaze with the interlaced chip, holding onto it until the very bitter end to shield their pride. For me it doesn't matter if they discontinue the FX1; unless the new model has 1080p, sales will suffer.

FX1 price at B&H gone up about another $100 last day or two.

now $3,299 for FX1 (NTSC).

PAL model on B&H gone up 500dollars (yes) since about 4 weeks ago.
Was $2,999, and now priced on B&H at $3,499.
