The Sony HDR-FX1000E's name is rather reminiscent of the seminal DCR-VX1000E, the camcorder which arguably kick-started the digital video revolution. This model is far less of a radical change, but it's still a great professional camcorder, and improves yet further on the video quality of previous HDR-FX models. If you're familiar with Sony camcorders, this is likely to be a very appealing package indeed.
