The V1U is a great camera but it depends on how you will use it. It’s not so good in low-light situations, but otherwise it’s a solid choice. Regarding the 24P option, again make sure that it’s what you really want. For instance if you ever want to slo-mo its flavor of 24P, you’ll regret using the frame rate. The good news is that the camera allows you to shoot in other frame rates. I haven’t had any trouble at all importing the files into FCP…
