Amazingly Comprehensive Training DVD November 29, 2006

I found this DVD to be extremely comprehensive in helping me learn about the HVR-Z1U and HDR-FX1. I wouldn't have learned as much about my Z1U if I hadn't bought this DVD. I have found no other training DVD that is this helpful. If your going to spend the money on the camera, the money for this DVD is well worth it. I learned a lot more about my camera then I ever would have.
These guys know how to make a training DVD.
I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in learning all they can about these cameras.
The more you know, the more you can do.

I was able to watch this video and learn the operation of the Z1U camera within mere hours, rather then spending days and weeks searching through manuals and messing around with settings. This allowed me to become proficient with the camcorder sooner and begin working on projects almost immediately.
The video was easy to understand and very well produced. Everything is step by step and shows you exactly what is going on. It contained alot of information on features that I may not used without watching this video.
I would recommend this video for anyone who wants to become an expert on the Z1U camera without spending days and weeks inside manuals and books. Was definately worth every penny.

The DVD is well produced, but I found it to be extremely over-priced for the amount of information you receive.
You could easily run through each option in your manual and read the explanation, instead of watching the same thing on a video (which was too scripted). I was hoping for more information that was not included in the manual and perhaps some professional tips on filming.
This DVD is more about the Z1 camera, (as there are many options shown that the FX-1 does not have), so 15% of the material was worthless to me. I'd recommend buying a few books instead.
