Ready to trade in you old Sony Z1U? Do you want to go tapeless? Are you ready to jump into HD video capturing? Check out Robin Berg, speaking on behalf of Sony about the Sony Z5U camera.
Nice video. To some degree he is doing more work than necessary. For example, using an additional software to transcode is not necessary if you are using Adobe Premiere. I love the tapeless formats, but some things that either I have not figured out or the Z5u can not do are as follows. The remote does not work with the tapeless card reader. Also, you have to have a tape in the deck or you can not use the tapeless reader. Other than that, I love my camera. Awesome! It took forever using tape.
When capturing HDV or SD footage directly from the CF recorder to FCP 6.0.5 and utilizing the Sony Recording Unit RAD software, transcoding occurs upon ingest. Files are aved to capture scratch wrapped as .MOV. No third party transcoder necessary. Very fast. No timeline rendering required.
even 110U can only record 720p but the picture quality almost better than any HDVcam because of that professional len,but 110U is shoulder mount cam not a handheld cam so which one you prefer? 110U don't have auto focus,you have to shoot with manual focus all the time do you know that?
well that was helpful, i was considering a jvc gy110u becuz the price droped to 3600. its a 720p hd. do u think the z5u is better or takes better quality video?

Plus the HMC150 looks like a toy whereas the Z5U looks sexy.

HMC150 is 28mm and Z5 is 29mm wide,so HMC150 is just only a little bit wider than Z5,but HMC150 is 13X zoom and Z5 is 20X zoom so which one better?
