Has anyone purchased a FX1000 and been able to shoot any storms with one? If so what was the quality of the video and how did it work in low light?

After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.
I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.
For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.
From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.
Sincerely, Jeff D.

Did not buy one however some reviews seem not to be too optimistic about its low light ability vs lets say Canon A1 (similar price range).
Interested myself if the new sensors will do any better with lightning.

If you search through this thread you can find some user experience with low light and some video examples.
The FX-1000 camera uses CMOS sensors which you want to stay away from if you like to shoot lightning. You can read about the rolling shutter issues which pertain to shooting lightning from the same thread above.

Thanks for the input, I have been trying to make a decission on a new camera for a year now. I have gone back and forth on many different cameras. Since I do need the good low light and no rolling shutter issues I have bought a new VX2100. It has been around a while but for what I need, sending short clips back into the station I think this will work the best at this point. If the CMOS improve I might upgrade in a few years to the HD.
