wty's FX1 vs ZR-1

I know that the mfg's wty on the FX1 is 1 yr parts 90 days labor (kinda sucky, but I know its sort of common)
Does any one know what the ZR-1 wty will be?
What is it on the other prosumer cams like the vx-2100, or the panny dvx-100?
Usually I think purchasing xtended wty's depend on what and who your buying from .
On my wish list is prob. the FX-1 (more than I need for my abilties but something I can grow into ).
Has anyone had experience with B&H's xtend wty?

I believe Sony will be offering extended warranty themselves.

The Z1 will be coming from Sony's professional division (the FX1 comes from the consumer division) so you can probably expect a longer warranty...

The VX2100 comes from Sony's consumer division... I don't know what the warranty is on that, I'm guessing 90 days. The DVX carries 1 year parts & labor, and is sold by Panasonic's professional division. I would expect (but don't know for sure) that the Z1 would offer a similar warranty.

There was just a thread here about a guy who just received a PD170 -- perhaps he'll chime in and tell us what the warranty is on it. The PD170 is also sold by Sony's professional division.
