Is Sony HVR-A1P worth it?

[zaree77]

I'm thinking of buying Sony HVR-A1P.
1) Is it worth my money or should I fork a bit more for DVX 102BEN?
2) Where is Expandore?
3) Is it true it is at Sims Drive Shun Li Industrial Complex?
4) Any other place you can recommend to buy?
5) Where is a good place to buy Sony Pro video products?

Questions alot but I think it will benefit others..

The A1P is a really small camera. just a little bigger than a consumer handycam. it's got 1/3 inch cmos sensors, like the bigger V1P, but it's low light capabilities is relatively poor. 7lux compared to 4lux. i guess if it's for personal use, it's quite ok.
use it to shoot commercially and people will start raising eyebrows.
