Personally I dont like the big canon - the blalnce is bad.
The a1 and fx1 are both great cameras and definitely of good enough quality for wedding work.

Which is better a1 or fx1? I heard that Sony for Croatia is manufactured in Hungary, is that true?

Not much in it really - both look like great cams to me - fx1 is almost the de facto pro sumer cam, but the canon is highly praised too.

Try em both.
