Hey guys, I'm on the fence with this camera, but I have a couple quick questions.

1. When you lock the exposure for video mode, do you have to go back into the menu to manually set it back to normal each time you want to take a still picture? Or does the still pic mode & video mode have seperate memory for those setttings?

2. Has anyone edited their footage on FCP, and if so, is it nice and easy for us to drag/drop video & edit?

3. How much do you think I can sell the lens that comes with it since I want to use my lenses and save some money, haha.

1. You have to press AE-L to engage in the first place. Once engaged, you have to press AE-L again to disengage. It's simple.

2. I don't use FCP.

3. I got $299 for mine on eBay and it sold in 10 minutes. I only paid $1260 for the kit (including tax) so I just wanted to recover that after shipping and eBay/paypal fees.

The body only option should be out soon.

thanks guys. I may just buy it today if I can. The option to carry a small DSLR around and shoot video when wanted sounds too good to pass up. I'll just bring the dvx around to bigger events when needed.

Another quick question.
How's the audio? I'm not expecting much, but would it be ok for an interview in a relatively quiet room?
