I was wondering if anyone here has used the Sony Z1U for weddings and if it is all it is cracked up to be, or whether or not there are compromises. I don't need progressively framed footage, even HD is overkill, but I would like native widescreen. The low light capabliity is what I am more concerned about, I will need something to shoot in resonably low candlelight. I have shot a couple of weddings where the lighting was terribly dark. This required some tweaking in post, but I don't want to have to adjust the gamma settings too much, it pulls up grain in the image. I was looking into the PD170P. I know the current HD range of cameras are newer with better lenses, but I need some advice from others who are in the wedding industry. I have used, Canon's, Panasonic, and Sony. I don't know what the new JVC HD101E would be like, no auto function, too fiddily when you need to follow focus.
