What I need from either a Sony HDR FX1 or FX7

Here's my second post for the day. I'm upgrading all our equipment for our shooting gigs and it is imperative that I do it very soon. Now for camcorders.

I'm looking at either a Sony HDR (there's no Sony HDV, right?) FX1 or FX7. I've seen an FX1 available for $999 and the FX7 for $1300. It's mandatory that I shoot in high-def from now on. I also need to buy a 0.7x lense because this is all POV, anyplace I can get a zoom through 0.7x lense that's less than $500?

What I need to know from you guys is what do I need to buy to make this work properly. After shooting I need to be able to hook this up to a system with windows xp and download the video from the camera afterwards.

Give me a list of everything I need in the package you recommend to make a decent POV for huge cumshot videos and do all the computer uploading myself. We're pure amateurs right now, but we'll get there. I don't think the weight of the FX1 will be too much of a burden for my actor, will it?

Any decent response is appreciated, any nonsense and you can "go fuck yourself!"

I'll be checking this post periodically today.
