I got the FX1000. I switched from the PD170 and I like most features of the FX1000 better. It is about 3db less sensitive, which for us just means that we use the full 20W on our Sony 10/20 instead of 10W. It has a very nice picture, is so wide you'll never need a wide angle lens AND has a 20x zoom. The other cam that I would look at in this price range is the Panny HMC150. It records to SDHC cards so picture quality is actually better than the Sony. It is quite wide but only has a 12x zoom. The problem for us was storage- you'll need LOTS of hard drives- and editing. Since it records in AVCHD format it requires mucho horsepower to edit AND a state of the art editing system - Edius 5/ Premiere CS4/ Vegas 7 (or is it 8)/.
AND, of course, the Panny does NOT have LANC- you need a Panny proprietary remote. ka ching!
Hope that helps.
