HWM SONY NX5 REVIEW

[@manzilechar3]

Thank you! It was good getting a feedback from you.

[@DarwanNaithwal]

is this cam have good result like then z 7 and z5 i waana buy new HD pal cam please help me for selection camera . darwan naithwal from uttrakhand india

[@Firewerkz]

@satriaasia the weight is the same. The removal of the drum for z5 is offset by the flash drive. There is a dummy in place if u do not use one. NX5 is 2.2kg without batt. 2.7kg with F970. Pwr consumption is low as well. 85min Rec time@ 16Gb, 1920x1080 25p at FX mode (24Mbps)

[@Firewerkz]

@creatinside Do u mean ND filter? Camera has been returned.

[@videogal33]

Thank you for posting this video. I saw artifacts in your sample shot of panning in parking garage from side to side quickly. Are you recording in 1080p, with 1920 X 1080? I want to buy a camera that will allow me to put high quality video on KZbin. Do you recommend the Sony NX5 for this?

[@Will.7839]

Great video. Well done. How have you found the image stabalization? Also do you know if the files easily import into imovie?

[@satriaasia]

What's the difference in terms of weight between the Z5 and NXCam?

[@valleryan]

Two questions: What did you shoot this review with? and Did sony let you know an expected release date for this?

[@SlugLineMediaProd]

When you edited the footage from the NX5, what NLE did you use and how well did it handle the codec? Thanks for the great review. I've had my eyes on this camera for quite a while and am hoping it's my next purchase. Thanks again! -C

[@NewAfghanCinema1]

since you are so familiar with this video camera and camera over all could you give some tips in how to look after in maintaining the camera if not in use for long time kept in its bag cheers

[@Gulliveck]

What do you mean by "not the best codec"? AVC is better than MPEG-2, and since the EX does not have 4:2:2 color sampling, it is really no better than AVCHD. Adam Wilt confirmed that AVCHD @ 17 Mbit/s looks as good as XDCAM EX @ 35 Mbit/s. Maybe the new Canon XF camcorders can deliever better image with 4:2:2 and 50 Mbit/s, but I've seen some disturbing frame grabs with noticeable 8x8 pixel block structure, inherent to MPEG-2.

[@visioneer32]

@formaset Yes I have one of these cams and I was concerned about the fingerprints on screen, however there are three ways to use this cam, 1, touchscreen, 2, A scroll & push wheel on the left middle side below the audio control dials & 3, an Execute button surrounded buy four arrow buttons so if you are like me and do not like touching the screen you still have two options, I hope this helps.

[@casablancamicasa]

are you using a camera to filmed this footage? what camera is that?

[@EnglishAddict]

Gorgeous camera. I'm about to move from consumer to Pro. This would seem to be a good one to start off in 'Pro' with. Pity about the 'infinity' rings though, but for the price, it seems like a lot of camera. 8-))

[@Canon550]

@EluraUser i agree with you on that. also this camera has HDSDI outputs and so you can get 60mb or even 100mb HD footage instead of AVCHD 24mb.

[@jegriva]

Maybe it's time to give the deserved rest to my dear FX1... do you agree?

[@salemohgame]

my nx5 is not very good, the picture is no good recording at night, too much noise. is there any adjustment to get rid of the noise?

[@rekez2]

how do you import video to the cmputer vis usb or wirefire

[@Firewerkz]

Shot with a 7D. The unit has been released in Singapore already.

[@Firewerkz]

@casablancamicasa Yup, u r right. Thaz why i made a correction in text at 9.21. U have a sharp ear buddy!

[@BrentGoodale]

Nice Review! Wish they all were like this!

[@Firewerkz]

Have fun dude. Its a nice cam.. ooh but if u r not in a hurry wait 7mths more for the S35 NXCAM. Interchangable lens with sexy Super 35mm sensor. Will give you nice DOF with great audio.

[@rawh321]

You do great reviews. Thanks

[@casablancamicasa]

at the end,you said 'to try the HDV codec',i think you mean the AVCHD codec.

[@Firewerkz]

@andersonvideo27 The EVF is good compared to the old Z1,FX1 days. Resolution is better so focusing is more accurate.

[@Firewerkz]

Mypurewal,I do not have an experience with that.Try posting on sonymedia forums or log a ticket with Sony media.They should respond.

[@dymproductions]

Great video, I can see the battery life is very good, 1 bar and you had 81 mins remaining, do the the maths with 3 or 4. Thank you for posting!!

[@SplinterFaction]
