  • After watching your video, it made me realized that the video quality of HX5V is crap. I thought it is far better than H55, although it produces less noise compared to H55 because HX5V has Exmor R CMOS Sensor. Sony produces low-quality digital still camera.

  • @hospoki09imp Compared to what? This is a point-and-shoot camera with a small sensor, and the footage was shot in low-light conditions (which was the whole point). Post footage from the camera you prefer and let us know how it goes for you.

  • The low light filming on this camera is crap compared to the Panasonic ZS7 and even ZS3. I prefer the vibrate video of Panasonic ZS7 rather than the soft looking video of Sony.

  • @efadaei What is "vibrate video"?

  • Seems pretty dark to me, I watched side by side comparison of HX5v and Canon SX210 is and Canon was much brighter. What about low light still photos?

  • @marcemelliza That makes sense; the SX210 is a 1/2.3-inch sensor, and much larger than any other point-and-shoot. But that factor aside, the HX5V shoots much better video overall. I find the still light sensitivity to be more than adequate.

  • Tank you for sharing this.

  • ice video. Ive had this camera for about a half a year and its been a great travel camera. Only things I wish it had was more control on picture taking such as contrast, saturation. Also wish it had a 2.0 aperture.

    Video overall is great; good stabilization, Whats also great is during night recording it is not prone to the light streaks from bright objects (CCD sensors from Panasonic.) Just wish the sound was better. Wish it had stereo and migrate the mics to the front of the camera.

  • @efadaei

    did you mean BITrate?

  • @hpaulmoon Sorry, it was a type. I meant that I prefer the vibrant and vivid videos of Panasonic rather than the soft and dim looking videos of Sony.

  • @marcemelliza I bought the HX5v yesterday, I agree with you, overall a better camera. Thanks for your input and video.
