Thinking of getting Final Cut Studio or Express. I've heard you can do a 2 camera in Studio what about Express?

In Final Cut Pro you can edit in "real time" by watching all your cameras play at the same time and then you can click to do a "live switch" you can do the same type of thing is Express by putting each of your cameras on a different video track and resizeing them down to 50 percent and then while they are playing press m to add a marker wherever you want to switch cams. Then all you have to do is resize the clips back to 100% and cut out the stuff between the markers.
