I'm not sure about the FX1E, but I've had good experience with the HVR-Z1U (it's bigger brother) and it was a breeze to use. You have to spend time going through the menus to setup the sound, but it was laid out fair plainly (I'm willing to bet the FX1E has a near identical menu). Just be sure you have a manual on hand and you should be just fine.

The main issue is that the FX1 doesn't have XLR mike inputs.
