SONY HDR-FX1

The SONY HDR FX1 is a beautiful piece of kit, and by the looks of thing it's very easy to handle, we will get a chance to go out with one of these next week, so the blog will be updated with my thoughts and the picture and ease of use, and maybe then followed by some edited filming we may have done, but looking at some footage on youtube, so quality looks beautiful.. like television standard quality even so it's not the biggest of cameras by any stretch of the imagination, to give time for the camera to pan, we were told that it's always a good idea to keep the camera still for 10 seconds before moving it, doing the same left and right. I found a video on youtube that demonstrates this really well so I shall post this below.

The HDR-FX1 includes a 3.5 inch. 16:9 aspect ratio diagonal high resolution LCD screen, featuring 250,000 pixels. The LCD features Sony's technology for best viewing in bright light. The LCD on the HDR-FX1 has been positioned towards the front of the handle, a unique position that breaks away from the typical left-side positioning. The LCD screen unfolds to reveal the HDR-FX1's VCR controls. The HDR-FX1 also includes a high resolution color viewfinder, also featuring 250,000 pixels. As a camcorder the HDR-FX1's main audience will almost certainly be very high-end consumers and professionals who seek the highest levels of manual control. The HDR-FX1 includes more manual control and "real button" control than any other Sony consumer camcorder in recent history, including the DCR-VX2100.
