[RobertBratuHD]

[Nex929]

hey ledzepjimmypage you need to get a converter whitch cost 1000$

[Iliescuvalentin]

Can you use an FX1000 from US in Europe?

[phockuahole]

@Iliescuvalentin: yes but u need upgrade to 50fps (which can only be done at sony factory) for use in most parts of europe due to voltage differences

[Iliescuvalentin]

can you use an FX1000 from US in Europe?

[CaseyTheDrummerBoy]

Sony FX1000 or Canon XH-A1s?

[z05f3r47u]

sony fx1000.. in my opinion

[imrecock]

canon

[phockuahole]

@CaseyTheDrummerBoy: fx1000 better in low light. progressive scan. true hd. xh-a1s has xlr jacks. go with the fx1000 all things being equal

[bumtownv2]

Does the Z5 have the 4x3 safety markers and an all-scan preview like the V1?

[1chills]

good info thanks

[ledzepjimmypage]

pleasssssssssssss help meeee.. i need to no if it uses usb or firewire to connect to your computer or it uses tapes

[MrOmniscience]

The Z5U uses a firewire because it is a MiniDV camcorder.

[backspinking]

firewire

[jaholmes01]

Got my Z5U from B&H last week and I'm lovin' it. Thanks, guys!

[TheGrubification]

lmfao guys, I can get the hdr fx1000 for a fraction of the price. My dad works for sony so when they take this off display they sell to sony workers for half off, which is 1600 PLUS his 500 dollar discount....WIN.

[12ampvacume]

good for you.

[greendayMan123]

are you willing to sell online

[nialrebmahchsoj]

does this run on tape?

[smukhlad]

CAN WE add new lense

[lowxfx]

no u can not

[SoundVisionMediaTV]

YES YOU CAN!

[MATT2productions]

can u put a shotgun mic on the fx1000?

[last22is]

Yes you can but only with a XLR adapter. The Z7 has that already pretty much in there.

[luisco]

what is the storage drive called that he attaches to the back of the camera at 2:56?

[CTHennebry]

so can u use a shotgun mic on the fx1000

[gewooneerlijk]

how you can protect the camera against sand when you are on the beach,>

[unkn0wnk1ng]

damn i want this camera.. But i also like the Sony vx2100

[CamaraMan5000]

I have a Vx2100 and I think I might B able 2 help ya out.

[Maxie0000007]

is it heavy???

[ShayneMaglay]

about six pounds

[skullymcgee]

how does this camera compare to the Panasonic HMC-150? im looking into buying a camera and i used the fx1000 on a shoot.. now just checking my options..

[Maxie0000007]

take the z5u the hmc150 looks like a toy and has less quality

[gewooneerlijk]

but ccd chip give better results as cmos sensor chip

[backuprotection]

wow very good review, i ordered the fx1000 a couple of days ago. Nice reassurance that image quality is the same. can't fork over for the z5u, too bad fx1000 doesn't have xlr adapters, kind of expected since its the prosumer sister, i'll just go with an audio adapter like beach teks. the DXA-4 is 200 and dxa-6a is 300.

[thedaystripper]

Look into the juiced link XLR preamps. First model starts at under $200 and it's honestly worth it. My opinion, much better than beach tek.

[teokiatuan2]

how much??

[Alomaim]

GREAT REVIEW!

[formaset]

B&H will NEVER go out of business! You guys are awesome!

[formaset]

3.2" LCD? That's not fair! My Z-7U is costs more, has interchangeable lenses and the LCD is 2.8?

[loco039]

Question...can I use a compact flash recoder in my Fx1 and wich sensor is better CMOS or CCD? Nice camera with 24p.

[Mex0214]

Flash recorder is only for Z5 and Z7.

[emojman]

1 word

WOW

[rafatuga13]

fx1000 is better cause u can film in 2p,im gettin one

[crystalclearvideopro]

am thinking about getting a sony z5u.... I want to know if this rolling sutter problem will be apparent when filming a wedding reception. DJ's use strobe lights and want to know if this will cause a problem... If anyone can.... please post a video using a camera with cmos technology during a reception with strobe lights.. I would greatly appreciate any info!!!

[casablancamicasa]

z5 is the best HDVcam sony ever made and i believe it will be the last HDV prosumer cam sony made,i thought i am gonna end up with z5 but since i get the latest information i changed my mind.

[TVgenial]

nice cams

[harpert55]

I'm wondering if I can use my non-XLR Azden wireless rcvr with a mini jack so it would connect to one of the Z5U's XLR connectors. I have a stereo mini-plug for the receiver connected via a cable to a male XLR connector.on the other end for the Z5U's XLR input. I tried that setup with another camcorder with a Signvideo switcher with no problem. I want to continue using my Azden receiver for the time being. Any suggestions?

[KBOYTV09]

uughh wish i had one of those

[jjho8]

Just ordered the Z5U, can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[buzzterbrown]

This is almost the sort of thing I've been waiting for - but why oh why do these pro cameras rely on tape as the main storage? Why can't they come with the compact flash card (or better yet SD) and let tape by the option?

[Visualsilva]

has anyone seen the new canon EOS 5d mark ii? I was all decided to get the HDR fx1000 and now i'm told that this new canon technology allows you to do high def stills and videos. anyone have any thoughts here?

[1StarProductions]

Yeah, but the audio is a joke

[parrish1108]

this is what i was looking for!!!! fx 1000

[RaymondCroxen]

Dude!! I was Drooling through that ENTIRE video! Those Cameras Are Beautiful

[MalteHanson]

I want the FX 1000 so much, but I have no money for ist...

[Filmthis1212]

Can anyone help me here, Is the HVR-Z5U camera going to be better then the SONY PMW-EX1?

[farnique]

i have the same question

[niallswand]

Cool, nice video. I wish I could afford one of these!

[fourthwall1]

the FX1000 is able to capture 60i, but not the Z5U

[farnique]

is that a disadvantage for the Z5U

[farnique]

does that make much of a difference

[ronzilla3000]

is that camera better than jvc gy110u?

[nalyd11]

its alot better

[ROHAN77777777]

thank you verymuch for that movie. iam going to buy one like this camra but i need your help.i want to know some thing? How many hours it can record.

[Mex0214]

Many many.

It depends hom much batteries and dv types do you have :)
