Price ???

[combatzonevideo]

this camera really is worth the price,it will do pretty much everything you need it to

[InsaneDrugs]

my school has 20 of these.. im in the TV Production program.. im one of the Camera men..

[Demetris85]

can you record HD on the flash memory ?

[SauronsEye]

You need to get the cable guy (Jim Carey movie character) out to rub that "G" spot.

[cubeproduktion]

whats better? the HVR-Z5 or the HVR-Z7?

[masterp678]

HOLY SHIT OVER 5,000 DOLLARS YALL OUT YALL EFFIN MIND!!!!! o_o

[TheBoaConstrictor95]

@masterp678 No it's not. It's $4,000 or so.

[CONMANiam]

how much is this?

[11myedu]

This camera is Hd variable framerate?

[HARMONICROOMS]

It’s looking tempting...

How long can the FLASH card record for?

I’ve been using standard DV tapes and HDV tapes in my last camera (Sony HDR-HC1E)…will these work or do I need to buy DVCAM tapes?



[ELMERJIGS]

how much is the price for this?

[lovhurtz]

can you put a wide angle lens on it also??

[maxx87]

very helpful review. What are the differences between this and the z7?

[mac7613]

do you get a usb lead so you can put it on a computer and do u have to put a tape in?

[resington]

Does this use DV tapes or something else?

[vinzz2008]

the joke with the g spot was hilarious

[CVPTV]

@vinzz2008 ;)

[samf46movies]

Expensive, this is gonna take a lot of saving.

[duncaninchina]

I'm about to splash out on a 'pro' cam. I love the look of this, but it is tape only. The external recorder is another £500. The Z7 looks nice but it is pricey and only has 1/3 chips..why not give it 1/2 inch sensors? The interchange lens feature is not so attractive because of this limitation. So will it be the Z5 or Z7? There are a lot of beans at stake here, so I have to make the right choice.

[GanEdenAustralia]

Get a Gy dv500

[kyismaster]

LOL my school has like 22, like this or better

[Bootlegger]

Peter Andre has let himself go a bit!

[shilpinator]

LOL g spot

[tunguy]

Is the HVR Z5 still PAl to NTSC switchable? There is almost no mention of it in the specs.If so, surely this is a HUGE difference from the FX1000

[loco039]

So, you mean CMOS is better than my FX1 3CCD, I don`t know about that.

What are your guys think. FX1 & Z1 are three years old but still beat the new models of any brand with 3CCD.

[casablancamicasa]

can you please tell sony forget about the rolling shutter issue,this is what they have to worry:JVC GY-HM100 can record 35Mbps FULL HD(1080P) and uncompressed audio to SDHC in the native QuickTime format used by FCP,HM100 will kill all tape recording HDV cam,sony have to react faster this time,either made a new cam that work like HM100 in 6 months or made the next optional SSD recorder for Z5 that can record in QuickTime,i been thinking to buy a Z5 but now i have to wait and see,so do something

[CVPTV]

So about 15 minutes on a 32GB card then. mmm

[CVPTV]

Not including extra menus etc on the Z5 here is a brief comparison of the basic features: HDR-FX1000 (preliminary) features: 3-CMOS image sensors (Exmor processing) 24p/30p/60i Sony G-series lens 20X optical zoom NTSC DV/HDV HVR-Z5E (preliminary) features: 3-CMOS image sensors (Exmor processing) *24p/25p/30p/50i/60i Sony G-series lens 20X optical zoom *NTSC/PAL DV/HDV/DVCAM *XLR Audio

[CVPTV]

With the limitations of bandwidth, a video that shows the true picture quality online would be impossible. You can get a better idea on our web site as we have better resolution videos than Youtube defaults to.

Ultimately, if you are in the UK, come and visit us and see for yourself.

[mahamza86]

Similarities between FX1000 and this?

Cuz to me they look kind a same.

Only it has that compact Memory adapter and i belive FX1000 doesnt have one...?

[trialmedia]

It has DVCAM recordability as well as professional XLR audio inputs. Apart from that, its the same camera as the FX1000. What I REALLY want to see is ANOTHER video with more information actually detailing the camera as well as a few videos of image quality as the scattered reviews and videos I have seen have not impressed me and I am very interested in buying this camera, from CVP actually! Thanks guys.

[CVPTV]

Not quite. There are about 50 differences between the two aforementioned camcorders.

We will try and create another video addressing what you say.

Your comments help us make better videos - thanks :)

[L0lrYaNL01]

can you put a fisheye lens on it?

[CVPTV]

Yes you can. If you view the Sony HVR-Z5E on our web site and click on Optional you can see the Wideangle, FishEye and Telephoto adaptors.

There is a link to the product in the info box (top right).

Peace
