Sony HX1 night test in Taiwan.

[KegPatcha]

Many memories from that wonderful country!

[audiophilemetallian]

It still has better picture than FZ100, probably because this last has so much pixels (14MP) for such small CMOS. The Sony is 9MP, that´s why the less noise.

But compared to FZ35 it has better stills and video even being just 720p

[MrMusmari]

what program do you use to edit this video ?

[deenualhaq]

[CherryMaaaeee12]

Hmm.. i have a question, how many minutes does it take to record a HD video? is it compatible for using in a concert? :)

[nanaivy]

@CherryMaaaeee12 According to Sony USA, maximum recording time per movie is 29minutes.

U can record movie until 2GB. (Almost digital camera has the limitation)

[KozKreole]

U got any suggestion on the setting?, take for yr reply

[KozKreole]

Well can't seems to take pix at nite, when a simple cam can

[KozKreole]

Yeah.

[KozKreole]

Can I ask you a question, do you get problem taking picture at night? Cause I have problem with mine

[nanaivy]

@KozKreole What problem? It is hard to take photo at low light always :)

[bourtigal]

@nanaivy

[bourtigal]

@KozKreole

hi, do you still have problem taking picture at night ? i have the same problem :( a lot of noise

[KozKreole]

@bourtigal

Yeah you right, i took the camera to a local Sony Shop, they couldn't find anything wrong with nor the setting, however if you google the user manual it's pretty useful

What I did is restore it to factory setting and after reading the manual gave me a more in dept how to go about changing the setting, tho it's not great but it have improve the quality

[OmegaWeaponR]

Wish i had my hx1 when i went to the 101 rooftop :(

[thebigwitness]

in low light my hx1 has alot noise what you sujest for the problem??

[flyme2japan]

Where u take the night view? Which building rooftop?  Looks this is not 101.

THX for sharing!

[nanaivy]

there is 101BD :)

[Dealyplaza]

I own it and it shoots excellent HD video. The still photos take some tweaking of settings to get right.

[hewad1923]

Did you edit this video? because how come it is noise free in low light, any tips for recording video at night or in low light.

[nanaivy]

i didn't edit anything,,,( I just changed file-format from mov to avi.

I used night mode movie recording. that's all

[lildeptrai]

awesome quality :)

[syrincs45]

I consider to buy this camera. How long can you record a movie by HD?

[nanaivy]

u can record a file until 2giga byte

[syrincs45]

and how many minutes is it?

[crasite]

@syrincs45 like about 29minutes, but if you really want to record movie and do a bit of capturing picture, get a camcorder xD (It's like 50$ more of HX1)

[1amjh]

nice video, what settings did you have the camera set to? You also mentioned that this footage was in RAW??? can you take RAW video from the HX1....thanks

[nanaivy]

sold this camera. i remember that there is no raw mode(there is only a format which is mov)

.there are not much option to change for video.. i guess i used night video mode with 1080p quality

[axxxd]

I see lots of people talking about grain noise in the pictures taken by this camera! I recently purchased one for $489.00 tax included and I have to say its a decent bridge camera! If you are thinking of buying one look for me at Flickr search for Nosueltana under people and you should see some pics I have shot with this beauty! And about the noise, I just put the cam in handheld twilight and the pictures come out great! Also try to play with the ISO it works!

[xxAO2012xx]

high performance for night mode..

Anybody know if you could get this in the $300's?

[mugupo10]

No one complain video quality of this camera, but the photo quality  is just not great, price tag is $400-450 in stateside, memory stick require isn't helpful consider they cost more than sd card.

[ydnapydna]

this is great quality video!! how do you like the camera overall?? am thinking of buying one.. any advice... thanks!

[nanaivy]

everything is good

High ISO performance is good...buy you may see some noise at Low ISO mode.

if u want to buy the best video qulity camera except DSLR...Buy hx1. :)

video qulity is better than panasonic ZS3(Tz7)

[mamba109]

You can't compare it to Panasonic ZS3, which is a pocket P&S. What you should compare it to is the Panasonic FZ35, which you can adjust aperture during movie mode, which is insane. The FZ35 is also cheaper than the HX1, we got it for about $340 new on eBay. But I am still planning to get the HX1 for myself, but it goes for about $420, plus the damn memory sticks.

[nanaivy]

this is raw video

[rodeoankie]

nice video...inspires to buy this cam...keep it up...

[TheYosafat]

AWESOME ITS 1080p ?????'

[nanaivy]

this is 1080p standard. :)

[TheYosafat]

STANDARD ?? HAVE ANOTHER MODE ?? I WANT ONE....IT´S GREAT.....ALSO TAKE PICS IN 1080p ???

[nanaivy]

there are standard and fine modes.

you know people said 720p is sharper than 1080p(but i prefer 1080p more)

it can't take a photo while recording video.

[TheYosafat]

GREAT... THANKS FOR YOUR ANSWERES... I HAVE TO BUY IT..I WANT THAT CAMERA TO RECORD MY SET UP IN HD 1080p......HERE IS MY VIDEO

[netbeat]

actually you should be able to take a photo while recording

[detonart]

It's not possible to take photos while recording videos because de REC button is the same button of the shutter, so if you click it, you simply stop the video recording.
