Hi there, I'm a newcomer to your channel and I've also seen your site. I'm hoping to get a camera like that but I have many question, actually I´m no too sure. So excuse, me The Sony HXR-NX5 camcorder is better than the Canon EOS-1D Mark IV? I’ll hope for your answer soon, thanks for your time, thank you very much. Goos day.
@eleazar5420 The Canon EOS-1D Mark IV has a larger sensor, but you'll need to attach a rig, view finder, follow-focus to be able to shoot accurately with the Canon. That adds up in price. But many professionals are going that route. The Sony works right out of the box, but has a smaller sensor. I can't tell you which is better because I don't know. I suppose if I had tons of money, I'd build a rig around the Canon EOS-1D Mark IV.
Hello , thanks for the informative video. We just bought this camera and are still in the 'learning' part. Mu question is , is there a setting to do 'time lapse' filming? or do you just film at regular speed and edit to a faster speed afetrwords?? thanks , steve
@proguide66 Good question. I had that camera for review only. You'll need to check the menus or manual to see if it's listed there. You could use the other method you mentioned, speeding up the recording in post-production. Good luck and enjoy your camera.
Most of the work i'll be doing is varied of semi pro level but requires high quality, Anything from weddings and ceremonial to Music video clips and short films, pubblicity and promotional, industrial etc. all. so I thought about aquiring the Sony NX5U and also the Sony Nex VG20 which gives me a good all round performance with the possibility of interchangeable lenses. Also haveing to cameras of the same make should be better matching my material when shot with 2 camera settups.......
Hi there, I'm a newcomer to your channel and I've also seen your site, I live in Italy & I'm hoping to open a small Garage style Video studio. Basically I'm currently researching which cameras to acquire. I've taken a good look at your videos on the HXR-NX5 the Canon XD 300 which I believe is the AVCHD version of the XH A1 and the Panasonic etc. Well after going through a day on the net trying to decide, I've come to a first conclusion that I'll probably require more than one camera.
escuse me the camera sony HXR-NX5 have tripod whit remote control?? and i know wont is compatibility the tripod VCT-PG11RMB with the camara sony HXR-NX5?? for your time, tank you very much.. goos day, i wite you comment.
@VideoDocR That depends. A DSLR might produce better looking video, especial if you're use the Canon 5D Mark II and a Red Rock stabilizing system with follow-focus. Those add-ons add cost. I don't believe the Canon 5D can record more than 12-minute clips. Watch YouTube videos showing the Red Rock stabilizing system if you're unfamiliar with it.
@dteubner@VideoDocR Also keep in mind the crippling shutter roll that comes with DSLR's - more than a tiny amount of camera movement and your image begins to skew etc. DSLR's get really nice footage, especially DOF, but arn't really practical for any handheld work unfortunately.
why would you need somethin like this?? the HDR-XR500V Camcorder has the same lense and zoom so basicly this is biger for no reason and you would look like a fucktard walking around videotaping with that!
@hobocamptheater actually no have you seen vids using the xr500? it looks better quality then this vid alone and that camera would prob break one drom the xr500 wouldent
@wescoolya I actually have a friend with this camera and the abuse it's taken over the time he's had it (a couple years if I remember) is pretty bad, but it still works fine.
that out of the way you still don't notice all the "pro" features missing on the xr500v I've already listed 5 and there's still more.
Also, when you say that the xr500's video looks better you fail to take into account that the videos of the nx5u that you've seen might just suck (because of who made them, not the camera)
I have a ax2000 and i just got a audio technica pro88 wireless mic and I was wondering if anyone knows how to record with wirless mic. I dont know what to do if anyone can help please help
@PestVic I got the loan from B&H Photo. Because I'm a reseller through my HowNowVideo(dot)com site I was able to get it. They've stopped doing the loan thing lately. You might want to read reviews of the camera at B&H. You can find it through links on my HowNowVideo site.
although the information is useful, this guy's monotonous narration puts me to sleep. I've had to watch it more than once in order to take full advantage of the information. FEED THIS GUY SOME COFFEE!
I have the option to work on Sony Vegas 10 or FInal Cut Pro, in terms or editing. Which one would you recommend for bringing the files from the camera to the computer for editing? And on a scale of 1 to 10, how much to do recommend/like this camera? It looks incredible, I just want a hands-on opinion.
Sorry am new in the video stuff i got the video in my sd card now am trying to transfer those file to my macbook... but i dont see any video files when i open the memory card help please
@snadovalvida I'm not a Mac user, but using Final Cut, I believe you must import them. Macs transfer AVCHD to ProRes. You could ask your question on an Apple User Forum, if you can find one. If you're using Premiere Pro, the files are there living a few folders in on the card. Dig deep enough and you'll find them.
you will find som .mts files if you recorded in hd, if you recorded in sd you fin some mpeg, final cut its no good using this files you have to convert them and its a slow proces and the resulting files are huge compared with the original ones, its better you use premiere pro cs5,
Responder a este vídeo... you can also use the adobe media encoder to proces the raw files using quicktime as an extension and sony nxcam compressor using the same settings that te original file, so this will transform the nxcam .mts to .mov files that you can edit in final cut, but why exporting them if you can edith them in premiere, just one more thing be patient when you import the files to premiere, they pre render so you can work them without rendering again,
im just wondering is it better to have the lcd screen on the top where the shotgun mic is on the left or right on the bottom because im thinking of getting a panasonic camcorder i dont know what kind or a sony hvr-z5u
How does this camera compare to the JVC GY-HM100U ? I just picked one up and the video looks great until you try to print ot DVD. When you do this it looks grainy and pixelated. Have you experienced this?
Good review.... I looked at many reviews about this camera & yours was more simply explained & easy to understand than most, anyway I went out & bought it. It is a great little camera I have no regrets in buying it..... but it will be a lot better when I pay it off.... ha ha! worth it.
@Schmitylamprano Congratulations on your camera. Watch my other videos at HowNowVideo(dot)com. I discuss AVCHD and editing and other principles of video and audio.
@dteubner Thanks buddy, yes I will check out your other stuff on your website. I'm going to do a vid. showing the clarity of avchd with this cam. please have a look out for that on my channel soon, cheers keep up the good work.
@Evli10 I wouldn't use the camera in a downpour. You could search for a camera protector for the camera. Or create your own. I haven't used it in rough weather myself.
Thank you for posting this video. I've been shopping for a Sony prosumer camera for use in making hunting and fishing DVD's in HD. This particular camera is the one I seemed drawn to, and your review really helped me with my decision. Thank you!
Hello dteubner, witch do u suggest a cmos or ccd sensor? ( im concerned with the so called rolling shutter affect on the cmos sensor or is rolloig shutter affect gone with these newer cameras?
@kruff10 Most video cameras seem to be headed to CMOS. I shoot the Panasonic HMC150 which uses CCDs. The Sony was on loan just for my review. I can't say much about the rolling shutter issue in the Sony or any other CMOS camera because I've only owned CCD cameras so far. Perhaps there's someone else who can discuss it more in depth. Sorry.
Hi dteubner Just wanted to ask a question i am looking for a Camera and i am confuse need your opinion on the matter i like the sony hxr nx5 but love the ex 1r also cant make my mind up please help.
@richkid639 The EX1R has 1/2 chips. I've tried this camera. Nothing can touch it. If you have the bucks, go for the EX1R. Picture quality is amazing. Visit my HowNowVideo(dot)com. I have a link to my preferred vendor. It's on the bottom of my website. You'll get a great price, I'll get a few bucks thrown my way.
@dteubner thanks for the response i was looking at the nx5v due to its long recording time but the ex1r is some thing else nice images but sxs cards are way to much thanks again
@caomingtranhn Read the customer comments from purchasers of both these cameras. Go to HowNowVideo(dot)com and click on the HMC150 icon at the bottom. Then read reviews. Then search for name of the Sony and read comments. Both cameras are good. I've liked the HMC150.
David, there is one more difference between the NX5U and HDR-AX2000 that might be significant for some, and that is the NX5U shoots 720/60P, and the AX2000 doesn't. I don't know why Sony made this different.
I like this more than the Panasonic HMC-150. It feels and looks more solid to me side by side, and I like the button and controls layout better.

@JanikMacholl No you don't have to. I didn't have the Flash drive in my review, but only the cover that comes with the camera. But if you do buy the Flash drive, you can record on both that and the SD card at the same time. The Sony HDR-AX2000 is just like the HXR-NX5U, but without the Flash option. Less money too.
One question, can I record video directly to the SD card? My friend also told me that the video is too compress, what does that mean. Can I just get the video file and add it directly to my editing S/W?
@JUANCARLOS2164 The HXR-NX5U only records to SD cards (the high-capacity class 4 or faster versions). It's recorded in AVCHD. The quality is very good. You can record in SD ONLY if you buy the Flash drive attachment. I use AVCHD all the time. A quad-core machine can handle it well.
@JUANCARLOS2164 I sent that camera back. It was on loan for me to review. Perhaps you can check the manual or find an online PDF for that camera. Good luck.
I am interested in buying the Sony HDR-AX2000. Is that camcorder similar to this one? What advantages does this camcorder have over the AX2000. I have heard that the AX2000 does not shoot in native progressive. Is this camcorder the same way? Great video!
@ChaKaiProductions I believe the difference is the HDR-AX2000 doesn't have the Flash Card Adapter option. Not totally sure. Go to HowNowVideo and then the Get Gear link. Click and search at my preferred vendor. You can read more about details. Good luck.
@SmellsLikeUpDawgg I've done two reviews at my HowNowVideo (dot) com website. I think you've seen one of them. That camera was on loan for a week. It has a nice build and great lens. Has the weight of the Canon XH-A1.
@SmellsLikeUpDawgg Thanks. I don't have the XH-A1 anymore so I can't do a comparison. I did like the XH-A1. Very nice lens and good audio through the XLR. Canon is about to release some new tapeless cameras. Perhaps I'll review one when they come out.
Does the NX5U have a LANC input? I have a Manfrotto tripod handle that has a standard mini-jack that I currently plug into the Sony Z1U and can control the zoom and start and stop recording. Just wondering if this handle will work with the NX5U. Thanks.
Thanks for teh review. Two questions. What wireless mic do you use for these videos? Can you use an card for this camera as long as its an SDHC card? The reason I ask is because I've found 32gb SDHC cards for $200 and I've found 32gb SDHC cards for $80. Does the card matter?
the class (speed rating) of the card is the difference in price. If I remember right, the NX5U requires a minimum of a class 4 (although I've heard class 6 or better is recommended).
Great demo. Thanks for posting. Sony should be paying you to do this kind of presentaion. Not much on the internet . Really helps those in the market to make a decision.
I just purchsed the "scaled down" version of the one you're showing. Sony's HDR AX2000. So far I LOVE IT!!! just need to find a compatible Sony remote tripod. According to Sony, the VCT-80AV (at $120) is not compatible. They want you to spend the $399 or the $900 tripod.
Thanks for all these videos, really. They're helping me with my decision between the xh a1s, ag hmc 150 and this one. If you were to make a decision right now , which would you recommend?
I would go tapeless, so that rules out the XH-A1. I believe Canon is going to release an upgrade to the XH-A1 that is tapeless. Not sure when. But that, said, I like the HMC150 because of its wide angle lens, and light weight. You'll need a bigger battery, however.
The only thing keeping me from buying the Panasonic right now is the fact that this one comes with the mic and a bigger battery. I don't know what to do! I don't know anything about mics so I'd have no idea which to buy if I bought the panasonic.
The Rode video mic is a brilliant shotgun mic it is less than $200 Australian, I have been using one for the last 3 years with my Sony Z1, I also use a Sony wireless lapel mic cost is around $800 Au and is worth every cent. I hope this helps you

I like this more than the Panasonic HMC-150. It feels and looks more solid to me side by side, and I like the button and controls layout better.
Thanks for what you do!!

@orcachaser Good to know. Yes, the Sony has a much better build than the Panasonic.

Must i buy the 128GB Flash Drive or is that in the review one?
JanikMacholl 1 year ago
@JanikMacholl No you don't have to. I didn't have the Flash drive in my review, but only the cover that comes with the camera. But if you do buy the Flash drive, you can record on both that and the SD card at the same time. The Sony HDR-AX2000 is just like the HXR-NX5U, but without the Flash option. Less money too.

One question, can I record video directly to the SD card? My friend also told me that the video is too compress, what does that mean. Can I just get the video file and add it directly to my editing S/W?
JUANCARLOS2164 1 year ago
@JUANCARLOS2164 The HXR-NX5U only records to SD cards (the high-capacity class 4 or faster versions). It's recorded in AVCHD. The quality is very good. You can record in SD ONLY if you buy the Flash drive attachment. I use AVCHD all the time. A quad-core machine can handle it well.

Is there a way to change the recording destination in the settings?
JUANCARLOS2164 1 year ago
@JUANCARLOS2164 I sent that camera back. It was on loan for me to review. Perhaps you can check the manual or find an online PDF for that camera. Good luck.

I am interested in buying the Sony HDR-AX2000. Is that camcorder similar to this one? What advantages does this camcorder have over the AX2000. I have heard that the AX2000 does not shoot in native progressive. Is this camcorder the same way? Great video!
ChaKaiProductions 1 year ago
@ChaKaiProductions I believe the difference is the HDR-AX2000 doesn't have the Flash Card Adapter option. Not totally sure. Go to HowNowVideo and then the Get Gear link. Click and search at my preferred vendor. You can read more about details. Good luck.

Do you have a Sony hvr v1u? I have been interested in this camera as well. A review of that camera would be great. Or a comparison.
SmellsLikeUpDawgg 1 year ago
@SmellsLikeUpDawgg I've done two reviews at my HowNowVideo (dot) com website. I think you've seen one of them. That camera was on loan for a week. It has a nice build and great lens. Has the weight of the Canon XH-A1.

Really good and helpful, but can you do a comparison between the canon xha1 or a1s and the Sony hxr nx5u?
SmellsLikeUpDawgg 1 year ago
@SmellsLikeUpDawgg Thanks. I don't have the XH-A1 anymore so I can't do a comparison. I did like the XH-A1. Very nice lens and good audio through the XLR. Canon is about to release some new tapeless cameras. Perhaps I'll review one when they come out.

Does the NX5U have a LANC input? I have a Manfrotto tripod handle that has a standard mini-jack that I currently plug into the Sony Z1U and can control the zoom and start and stop recording. Just wondering if this handle will work with the NX5U. Thanks.

Thanks for teh review. Two questions. What wireless mic do you use for these videos? Can you use an card for this camera as long as its an SDHC card? The reason I ask is because I've found 32gb SDHC cards for $200 and I've found 32gb SDHC cards for $80. Does the card matter?
SirBeef 2 years ago
the class (speed rating) of the card is the difference in price. If I remember right, the NX5U requires a minimum of a class 4 (although I've heard class 6 or better is recommended).

Great demo. Thanks for posting. Sony should be paying you to do this kind of presentaion. Not much on the internet . Really helps those in the market to make a decision.

I just purchsed the "scaled down" version of the one you're showing. Sony's HDR AX2000. So far I LOVE IT!!! just need to find a compatible Sony remote tripod. According to Sony, the VCT-80AV (at $120) is not compatible. They want you to spend the $399 or the $900 tripod.

Thanks for all these videos, really. They're helping me with my decision between the xh a1s, ag hmc 150 and this one. If you were to make a decision right now , which would you recommend?
Hellotherekyle 2 years ago
I would go tapeless, so that rules out the XH-A1. I believe Canon is going to release an upgrade to the XH-A1 that is tapeless. Not sure when. But that, said, I like the HMC150 because of its wide angle lens, and light weight. You'll need a bigger battery, however.
dteubner 2 years ago
Excellent, that's actually the one I was leaning towards. Would you say the quality of al of them is pretty even?
Hellotherekyle 2 years ago
Yes. But the Panasonic has that special "look" that Panasonic users love. They call it the Panasonic "mojo".
dteubner 2 years ago
The only thing keeping me from buying the Panasonic right now is the fact that this one comes with the mic and a bigger battery. I don't know what to do! I don't know anything about mics so I'd have no idea which to buy if I bought the panasonic.

The Rode video mic is a brilliant shotgun mic it is less than $200 Australian, I have been using one for the last 3 years with my Sony Z1, I also use a Sony wireless lapel mic cost is around $800 Au and is worth every cent. I hope this helps you
