xa20/25 zebras

A question about XA20/25 zebra exposure indicators to you XA20/25 owners out there. How useful are the zebras for manual exposure control? How easy is it to set zebra levels? I'm asking because I've read some contradictory stuff about this.

Well, I guess the zebra is a bit limiting for some people since you have only two options for setting that zebra. Either 70% or 100%.
I have always used it at 95% so I have chosen to use 100%. So far, after owning the XA20 for one week, I seems to act like any other zebra. At least I havent had any bad surprises yet. Its a lot of other artifacts about that camera I would be more worried about when deciding wether to buy that camera or not, at least if youre a professional videographer. (se my other posts)
