Seems like it's an upgraded FX1.

I took the Japanese page into Babelfish and sorted through the specs, and unless I missed something, it looks like it's the Z1. |

this looks like a black FX1 with two cinema tone modes - type1&2 plus an external mic - sort of half way between the FX1 and Z1

I don't know much about reading Japanese but QUALIA is Sony's language for "OVERPRICED". :)

Hey Boyd, don't be sarcastic, I mean they have Frequency Response up to 120,000 Hertz - I've always wanted to hear what those sounds were like :)

US version is announced
See the following press release: http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/050421/nyth031.html?.v=7
So, for $5,800 it appears that you get the following (if I am reading this right): An FX-1 with a different name (Qualia 002) and maybe different color An NPF-970 battery A shoulder strap and belt An ECM-672 mike A genuine leather grip belt A three year warranty Woo-hoo, where can I pick one of these babies up? ;-) |

To be fair, it does say that the lens is different (an "SQ" T*), so there may actually be some kind of worthwhile improvement there...
Still, I'm not desperately trying to find my chequebook!!! |

Dang. Y'all had my hopes up that this was the rumored shoulder-mount version of the Z1...
...and you're telling me it's a Qualia FX1? Gee whiz. |

In the link from sean's post (3d post) it also says it has an improved video codec. Maybe they solved some of the mpeg-GOP issues?
