Sony Handycam HDR-FX1 Mini DV Camcorder
For striking, detailed high definition recording, the Sony Handycam HDR-FX1 camcorder is built for demanding consumers and discerning professionals. The HDR-FX1 features a real-time HD codec engine, which offers professional-level MPEG2 video compression, and a 14bit HD DXP (Digital Extended Processor) for increased processing speed. Images are captured on the three chip Advanced HAD CCD system that provides increased detail and improved video performance without any of the color bleeding found in other systems.Product Review
The highly anticipated competition to JVC's HD camcorders, the 1st generation Sony HDR-FX1 attempts to set the standard in a new frontier, the HD market. While there is a small HD camera market due to its still high prices, the Sony HDR-FX1 sets a milestone in its affordability delivering HD.Only had this camera for 2 weeks, but so far it has performed flawlessly. I have been taping for 10 years with a VX1000 which still records great video, but the FX7 is definitely a superior camcorder. HD is as close to being there as is possible. Great detail, superb color and so far it is pretty.
The LCD screen is a bit cookie at first, but users of pro-cameras will find it similar to a conventional EVF.
The shot transition buttons are amazing, the duration of the transition can be varied as can every image facet (gain, iris, W.B, even focal length).
