BinaryCafe (Feature) - Q&A Cafe #1 - '29 minute video limit-why?'

I have a lot of questions coming in and it's hard to answer them all. I figured I'd kick off a new feature called Q&A Cafe, to answer questions. What do you think? Keep it, or lose it?

If you want to keep it, please subscribe and post your questions to the channel wall, or--if you prefer--send me a personal message.

I am also going to post these as podcasts (MP3's) to www.binarycafe.com.

Love your videos and my question is I am about to buy either the hx9v or the hx100v and I am suspecting that they are both the same internals except for the badly engineered power port on the hx9, the g lens on the 9 as opposed to the Zeiss on the hx100. Is there any other thing I should know in terms of difference for me to justify buying a slightly more expensive camera? Sorry for the run on sentence.

@markymaclmb - The 3 things that come to mind regarding differences between the HX100V and HX9V are: (1) the battery on the HX100V lasts longer, (2) the manual focus ring on the HX100V is a fun and useful feature, (3) while I haven't experienced this issue myself, some owners of the HX9V have reported frustration with the pop-up flash on the HX9V. Overall, if you don't mind the larger size of the HX100V, it provides great value for the extra $100; however, the HX9V provides better portability.

@NightRid3rs77 - Thanks. It looks like there's enough interest in 'Q&A Cafe' for me to continue producing this series. I appreciate the support!

@diamend

did you use the sony Picture Motion Browser software to offload the pics? if not, the pictures and videos are located in completley seperate files. For me I use a SanDisk card and the videos are in a file called "stream"

To get to "stream" I would have to first go into the file called "private" -> then into file called "AVCHD" -> then into "BDMV" -> then finally I go into "Stream" to find all my video files. I hope this was helpful

Re: Sony DSC-HX100V Photographs on my SD card download to my computer, but videos will not. Why? I'm using a PNY professional 8GB 2 hr HD video card.
