I think the A1 is a great cam. In fact I prefer it to the XLH1 aside from the little batwing lcd. Weird...
I haven't compared enough of the A1 footage next to the V1U but find both cameras provide very nice images. I'm not a fan of Canon though so I would never own one personally. That's why I chose the Sony.
As for people not caring about the V1, I think that's hokey. I know plenty of people who are using it and very happy with it. I think we get caught up in the thoughts that we should be getting the same images as $30k plus cameras and it's not the case. If the camera works for you, use it. If it doesn't, thank goodness there are so many options out there now.
