Bought a FS700 many years ago and have loved it. Minimal grain increase at high ISO's.

[@TonyDelvillar91]

I'm a dad and I got excited watching this video .. weird..

[@TheEverydayDad]

Ha! It’s something about camcorders right? 🤣

[@pabloschonffeldt]

I love when you say: audio is the most important part of video production.

[@pwolkowicki]

Surprisingly, it is!

[@FireMatePhotographic]

I got it last summer, posted some videos on my page from it, and I have to say it's a wonderful tool for the quick get up and go camera! There's also modifications to picture profiles that I've found do a great job in removing noise at higher ISOs, even before any colour grading

[@Slang_Forever]

I like the image quality of the cam u filming the review with

[@StringerNews1]

The little NXCAM cameras using the AIS hot shoe and taking V batteries are not nearly as "pro" as the 3-chip HDCAM models that use NP-F batteries. But they have some of the blood line in them. The first one I got was a cheap version of the pro HDCAM with built-in HDD used to make "Ice Road Truckers", and my first non-tape camcorder. Its successor uses an internal SSD (has an SD card slot too) and when the microphone part is removed, can be sealed against the elements for use in the rain and dust. Not bad as a standard feature on a $2500 camera that also comes with 2xXLR inputs with phantom power and other pro features! My 7 year old model shoots 1080p60 well enough for industrial videos, and just keeps paying for itself. The best part of course it that there's nothing extra to grab!

[@martinXY]

The NX-CAM models are great. And the NP-F batteries are solid. Just go all day. And you can get half price after market ones if you want to take a chance.

[@TrailerYacht]

Best review of the NX80 I've seen, and I love your style Gary. Thanks for all the hard work putting this together. I recently started shooting our trailer sailing adventures. There is no way I am going to risk my high-end DSLR bodies & glass to shoot in a salt-spray filled environment - unless it was for a commercial job. Camcorders are not perfect but they are fantastic all-rounders - especially for home movies - and I don't understand why they are so out of fashion. I have a Sony FDR-AX53 & it generally works brilliantly for home movies. The lack of manual control is very annoying, (XLR jacks are missed too) hence I am upgrading to either the PXW-Z150 or the PXW-Z90 series to take it to the next level.

[@miraclelove991]

Wow! love that vlogging. You're good at it!!

[@MileyonDisney]

That looks much like my Sony FDR AX-100 4K camcorder, that I absolutely LOVE! Mine also shoots great-quality photos, and I'd imagine yours does, too. It has so many advantages over a still camera, including the built-in ND filters. And it will shoot a Paris Hilton video in complete pitch-black darkness.

[@RJMPictures]

I've had the NX30 for a long time. Awesome piece of kit when it came out

[@blaylock1978]

Nice video! If you have time, what Picture Profile do you use and other settings when filming indoors? I haven't been able to nail down the right combo of settings... Thanks in advance.

[@mixflip]

I am a dad who makes KZbin videos. I've found that I need 2 setups. For shows like shot show I use a dslr for long battery life and a 10mm wide angle lens for all the booth interviews. For SEMA I need a 3 axis gimbal camera....period. So I'm still using my old Canon 70D for shot show and a gopro hero 4 silver in a feiyutech 3 axis gimbal for SEMA. I do want to ditch the dslr though for a camcorder. I'm tempted to buy this sony.

[@cryptohunt2552]

Excellent review. I have subscribed.

[@ryanvacation7319]

From a glance in the specs it seem to also have some live streaming features. If you do a lot of live streaming for events this seems to be a big step up from a mobile phone.

[@Dadsden]

My man!!! Love this!!! Want this!!! Haha

[@dailypage]

This is so crazy cause I literally pulled out (2 months ago) an older Sony HandyCam HDR-PJ790V and attached a mic (Rode) and thought it was awesome. I get so caught up with the latest tech/gadgets that I completely forgot about the camcorder devices. Don't get me wrong, latest products are phenomenal but HandyCams are still great too. This video reminds us (well at least me) that you can create anything (commercial, movie, news and etc.) using camcorders. Thank you and keep up the great work.

[@billyonunga]

Thanks for the eye-catching review on this awesome Camera.

[@ASHISH_KR_DUTTA]

@8:10 you mentioned about gain sensitivity. May I ask, exactly how much are you talking about? I mean is the gain good at 15db ? Also, may I ask, how long the battery lasts in this camera in a single charge for continuous recording? Thanks in advance.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

I’ve been using camcorders since 1990. I recently started using the M50 as I venture into the world of KZbin. I love the DOF achieved with a DSLR or mirrorless, but camcorders have their place. Especially for long form recording (and try to do a slow crawl zoom with a DSLR). Not everything needs that “cinematic” look, right? Thanks for the great review and content!

[@TEKDAD]

Having known the price at first, I wouldn’t have watch 😜 great job !

[@miabravo3074]

Hi bro, I really like your video is very informative. Maybe you could help me with a decision. Which would you recommend me to buy the Panasonic Hc-x1000 or the Sony HXR-NX80

[@waynemarkovich8842]

Nice review enjoyed it thanks! Everyone has different needs for me I use the AX-700 basically the same camera as the NX80 and a high end DSLR at the same time. I shoot video and still shots at basically the same time so I can dedicate each camera to a single use works best for me. On noise in low light if that happens there are a couple of great post production filters that remove all of the noise and keep the quality so any noise has never been a problem. Have shot a lot of outdoor night video with the AX-700 and it looks fantastic. Also you did not cover the Sony color profiles that allow you to customize your color this works great. Have had the camera for a year and it has been perfect.

[@PabloRubio]

great video man!! The ax53 is a 3 years old camera with awesome stabilization at half the price of the AX 700. I´m exited that you check camcorders finally. Greetings from Peru!

[@schoeferfilm]

Great video, ihave the big brother camcorder 🎥, the Z90 and i am very satisfied with the footage 😊 best regards from germany 🇩🇪

[@todds-n-ends2760]

This looks like it would be perfect for improving the video quality on my channel. Thanks for this review!

[@MarksTech]

2200 for a camcorder?! oh Jesus idk. especially since its mainly a daytime-sunny camera. maybe if its lowlight capabilities were bomb, then I could justify that.. but if you compare it to a sony a7iii, the sony murders it - especially in video quality since the sony records in 6k and downsamples to 4k

[@TheEverydayDad]

That’s what we’re going to do on Wednesday! 😁👍

The Everyday Dad oh hell yeah! You read my mind! Glad I’m a subscriber of this channel! Also another reason why you’ll be in my video of top camera reviewers 💪🏼👍🏼

[@TheEverydayDad]

Ha! Well thanks so much! 😁👍

[@kapilbusawah7169]

Mark's Tech yeah man, that SONY is so much better than the SONY lol

[@martinXY]

It's the difference between a recording system that requires attention and attendance and a get-the-job-done camcorder. A camcorder such as this is easy for times when you have zero set up time, or for events that need to give you a consistently good image, not necessarily a great image. Sure, put these in the dark, and there's trouble in Paradise. Everything has compromises. Having the ability to hook up to pro audio is part of the appeal as well; even better is using Sony wireless mics that just hook up so damn easily. I've used Sony and Canon camcorders for a while now for both fun and profit and they are robust and produce a good result without faffing about. One more thing, the ergonomics of a camcorder makes handheld use very easy - zoom rockers are so easy to use and you don't notice how good they are until you don't have them. There are many ways to a result. I'm still amazed with the image my little GoPro Hero 6 gives. I'm just happy with how far we've come since the Sony PD150 days.

[@distantsignal]

Great GREAT review! I use a Sony CX900 now for my KZbin videos and am looking for a 4K upgrade. This NX80 is the exact same form factor as the CX900, but apparently with vastly improved features. I was considering moving over to a DSLR, but all the rigging and contortions that are required for video on still cameras sent me back to the camcorder. I shoot outdoor train videos mostly so I don't have much use for "bokeh" or low-light sensitivity to get Buffy and Biff cutting the cake by candlelight and all that stuff that DSLRs do so well. I want a run-and-gun video machine and this looks like it'll be my choice. Plus, $2300. is a good price for a camera this good. Thanks!

[@907channel]

Distant Signal I use the cx900 also, along with a6300 and rx10 iii.

[@backyardbque1964]

how is it to use for live streaming? do you have to buy any additional hardware like the AX53?

[@Mr9729292832]

I love your channel. I wish you to touch 1 million soon. Try to include tech and mobile also to reach more (a humble idea) 😄😄😄

[@sweethoot375]

Any suggestion about this one Sony - HDRCX405 ? Or Which one is best in this current market?

[@AydinOdyakmaz]

Bought this a few months ago to replace the only EX1. Works like a charm

[@TheEverydayDad]

Yeah it’s actually a pretty darn nice piece of kit 👍

Onwe big advantage that you didn't cover. No recording limitation or interruption. As vlogger and KZbinr we might have forgot since we don't record long lenght clips. But to record a complete show and have a good studio cam... that would be better that a DSLR.

[@valorandvenom1131]

so I'm in the process of starting my own LLC for video production and ive been watching you video for reviews and love them.... then i saw the OSU hat..... you now have a new subscriber. if possible is they away to DM you to talk about your opinion on the NX80 vs the PXW-z90? Also is there a newer and better camera then those two?

[@djspock5150]

How do you pull the video files off the Camera via usb and the SD card plugged in? I am able to pull the SD card out and put in a separate read on the computer but not from the camera. Just gives me a couple of folders with some documentation and no video files?

[@shahryarrizvi1]

Really liked the way you did this vid. The camera's nowhere near my budget (just went with the FDR-AX53) but great to see what the more pro cameras have.

[@goldenboyi1989]

WHAT tripod is that holding the camcorder? its not in your gear list

[@remektekmedia6641]

I have a Fuji X-T3 and over a dozen lenses, but I also picked up a used Sony AX100 for Au$1,250 (roughly US$875). It is virtually the same as the NX80 without the handle and with a single SD slot. Just like you said, it is the easiest camera to use. I splashed out for the Sony wireless lav kit and the Multi Function shoe adaptor. This allows for cable free wireless mic usage and you can choose to buy the single channel or the dual channel mic kit. Yes, they are not cheap, but boy do they add value! You can also use them with any other camera too. The only other recommendation other than a good size SDXC card(s) is the largest genuine Sony battery. Camcorders also don't have the pesky 30 mins recording limit, so they are great for recording events, talks and conferences. If you really need XLR then you can buy a chepo dual channel pre-amp, but seriously, why would you? Like you, you can attach a Rode Videomic Pro, or an afore mentioned wireless kit without going down the XLR route. Oh, and if you put a shoe mounted LED video light, you are really rockin'.

[@NYCIndieFilmmakerSujewa]

great video. i bought the new sony mc88 (the HD only version of the NX80) and am using it for feature filmmaking - amazing camcorder.

[@InsanenessMedia]

The NX80 is all I use for basketball highlight videos in 1080p @ 120fps I make. Wish it had BOSS like on my AX33 but, overall it's perfect for my needs.

[@907channel]

Insaneness Media Basketball is where it’s at. I’m debating nx80 or xf400

[@stanleyfamUK]

Add a Dad + a Camcorder WINNING post - Thank you for taking the time to review. It's a bit like doing a review of an RV/ Camper Van - Us Dad's love the idea but the use we would get might raise some questions from the wife! lol. I LOVE the fact that Sony are still developing tech and using it in camcorders plus conventional 'photo' cameras and the NX80 is an entry point for their pro series which at the top end have interchangeable lenses and in between have G lenses. For events and weddings I would love to have one in the bag, but my A7 with a bag of lenses, monitor, lights etc gives me better flexibility - plus the A7 is soooo upgradable for lens range once funds become available etc. BUT I would still like an NX80 as a gadget if I could sneak it into the house :-)

[@TheEverydayDad]

Ha! Trust me I get it, I have to sneak some of this gear in myself 🤣

[@SorinNitzoy]

About noise in low light, if you tweak the Picture Profiles you can get a very good low noise image, even on a 21dB gain.

[@mwokozitaylor2794]

Now if Sony will ever come out with a successor to the NEX VG-900 that has similar features. That was a GREAT camcorder. It was A full frame interchangeable lens camcorder. It was a low light beast. It was way ahead of its time. Unfortunately for Sony most do not like camcorders.

[@swschilke]

What about the Sony AX series with built-in Gimbal. Did you check out these?

[@rapaent]

Wow!! That's very similar to my Sony PXW-X70! This NX80 is at the same price point after I paid for 4K upgrade to the X70 when it first came out. Thanks for the great video. Ray 😊👍

[@wallyandellen5099]

I was going to ask if you could do some reviews on camcorders and you did, big thank you.

What setting would suggest with this camera for a cinematic look?

[@bryanglez]

I really want to know what export settings he uses for his videos no matter the quality of the video it looks good

[@andrewsjoseph7609]

[@StevenVigus]

Ummm...drop test? Those guys at B&H are pretty cool - they won't mind...commence the crucible!

[@TheEverydayDad]

[@Beakerzor]

drop tests always puzzle me, they make as much sense as "can you test if I leave it in the oven?" or "what if my horse steps on it?" it's an electronic, not a basketball, LOL

[@tombuck]

What an awesome piece of gear! I’m wondering if the aperture is constant? That would be a HUGE selling point.

[@dragonstone6594]

It's not constant. It's f/2.8 - f/4.5 and that's equivalent to f/7.5 - f/12 in Full Frame.

[@TheEverydayDad]

It’s not unfortunately, I also wish it was a little wider open at the zoomed out end of the lens.

[@garethonthetube]

Constant aperture=huge selling point=huge lens!

[@BioPrimula]

You can set the aperture fixed, see iris

[@garethonthetube]

stig I meant that the maximum iris (f2.8) is only available at the wide end. As you zoom in this falls back to f4.5 as previously mentioned. This is necessary to keep the lens more compact. For it to be able to achieve f2.8 at maximum focal length it would need to be a lot larger. Of course if you set the lens to f5.6 it should stay there throughout the zoom range.

[@dungteller367]

Capacity, clarity expression a unique intellect, this is not a critique, it is a recognition of a gifted mind. A man pointing out an avalanche of ignorance and the ignorant consumed by their own ideas not listening forcing the sane among us to stop them before they kill all of us, including themselves.

[@sahzookey]

I love the idea of a camcorder. The lenses cover so much focal range! If they made a APS-C or full frame sensor camcorder they would sell like crazy, sure you’d lose some reach but everyone wants that shallow depth of field.

[@judobreakdowns7616]

They had one. Look up the Sony NEX VG900 or the 30

[@termi77]

I got the PXW-Z90 and I must say this is the best Boradcast-style Camcorder you can own!

[@htoddgriffin4787]

I looked at several camcorders, but ultimately went with a Panasonic FZ2500. Its a video beast. Unlimited recording time. Built in ND filters. Stabilization. 4k @ 60fps. Mic input and headphone out. Lots of video output options. And massive zoom if needed. In short, a bunch of cool features that I wanted. It's my "studio" camera, but it is so much more. I think everybody needs one just to experience the versatility. It's basically a GH4 with a super-zoom lens permanently attached.

[@lessonsfromafather3465]

HTodd Griffin interested!! As I shoot on a GH4 and G7.... I’ll need to check it out!

[@BottomlandOutdoors]

It doesn’t have 4k60. But I do love mine

[@ConnorMcGaffey]

you are a beast at putting out content!

[@hyperboig6484]

0:45 I felt like that when I bought a Canon Vixia HF R800 Camcorder. Also, you might want to consider reviewing it, it's a great value for the price! Love your videos!

[@TheEverydayDad]

Nice! I might have to check it out, thanks for the tip 😁👍

[@MegaWoodswalker]

I use a Sony AX53 with Rode Videomicro and it's a really nice for outdoors content. Lots of times it can be found on sale for 800ish. For just pure making video content it's really hard to beat. Plus not that heavy and compact. Not sure I would pack a NX80. Looks a bit much for my pack and hard to justify the cost at this time. For me anyways. I did spend the 35 bucks for a B&M digital clear filter to protect the lens and flaps. Wouldn't survive the woods without it. Nice video.

[@ksmackvolleyball]

My main video camera is actually a Canon camcorder. I must admit, its a great toy to own, I am glad I have one. I bought a camcorder cause I mainly shoot sports. The results I get are fantastic. For audio, I use the RODE stereo video mic Pro, the two in combination produce very high quality video. For best results, I use a tripod although the Canon has very good image stabilization, especially at full zoom. I have never used my camcorder for vlogging, its just a tad too heavy for that. What I like most about my camcorder is you pretty much just turn it on, and you're ready to go. To be honest, I totally enjoy the freedom of using my tiny action cams. You can capture plenty of useful video with action cams. But when you're going for quality where only a larger camera can do the job, I am always happy I have my Canon camcorder to take with me.

[@AllTerrainFamily]

Did you add sharpening in post? Some of your sample clips look oversharp on my TV. I was looking at this but went with the Canon XF 400 for the 4k 60 fps. A camcorder is really nice for this stuff. Really love having one again.

[@TheEverydayDad]

Nope I kept it in auto and didnt do any post processing.

[@AllTerrainFamily]

@@TheEverydayDad Interesting. Must be out TV. It's old. All my videos look oversharpened if I add any at all in post.

[@lenmediastudio]

How did that go? I have the FDR-AX53 and I'm thinking of upgrading as well, maybe to this or to the AX700. Money is something I need to take into account. But money aside, because of what I do, I also need to take physical dimension into account (the smaller the better) so I'll have to see

[@Tappits84]

@KohMotion The Sensor size is not the be all and end all... most broadcast cameras only have 2/3 inch sensors.

[@yankeecowboy]

I own both the sony a7iii and the ax700, I use the ax700 as a studio camera and the a7iii for photos and low light video which it does crush the ax700 but that's expected coming from a full frame sensor. That being said the ax700 is my go to camera I love it for video and ease of use.

[@TheEverydayDad]

Nice! I will say I did enjoy my time with the nx80, it’s great. I’m just spoiled anymore 🤣

Would love to get one but I got the Panasonic HC-X1. The Sony is not expensive. If you get all the accessories for a Dslr you are there. I love my X1 the only thing is that I want a larger sensor. Have an amazing Sunday, Andreas from Off Grid Sweden 🇸🇪

[@dougn4087]

What's the difference between the NX80 and the Z 90? I've used the Z 90 and found it very easy to use and it was really good in low light situations.

[@giannisglikiotis]

The image quality is totally different from a mirrorless, it's like it gets an anti-aliasing or something, generally a digital processing! But in the end its for a different purpose! Those cams are epic for live-streaming senarios with multi-cams. The controls and the zoom are coming in handy in such projects where with a mirrorless you would need a power zoom lens , batteries etc and the cost could get 4 times of the sony nx80!

[@acronvron9665]

Panasonic fz2500 is good too I bought it two years back it’s still going strong It too has a 1inch sensor fixed lens fully articulating screen built in nd filters stabilisation and can record 4k24 It’s a dope camera and is just lightly taller than the gh series so it’s somewhat compatible with many accessories Quality wise it’s something in between of gh3 and gh4 I think it’s a great beginners camera or just a great b camera because of just how simple it is just plug and play no need of multiples lenses filters and what not

[@rolandrickphotography]

8:38, the deep dof is amazing, no AF needed 😂. Would be a nice camera if 4K at 50/60 fps (PAL/NTSC) were available. S-Log available?

I've been using the Sony FRR-AX53 4k Sony Camcorder for my main camera for 2 years. I am constantly asking the same question you did, why don't more people use camcorders?

[@lenmediastudio]

I think it might be because people aren't professional enough and there have been some stereotypes set by some of the low-end camcorders. I've seen people commenting on a smartphone photo looking better than one from a proper camera and I had to tell them that's because smartphones generally have better screens than cameras 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@nathanksimpson]

Does it have lumetri scopes, luts, log profiles, prores, or raw video recording? Video out? These are pro features.

[@arampan]

As a dad myself, I always have problems fitting everyone into the group video. The camera has a 29mm-348.0mm equivalent lens and that’s not enough when I’m shooting in tight spaces. I think it would be great if you could recommend or do a feature on screw-on wide angle converters. I’ve bought one but was sorely disappointed and threw it away. It was 0.7x wide but 2/3 of the image around the center became soft and had the purple fringes. It also made zoom useless because the camera wouldn’t focus at anything other than full wide. I believe thousands of dads around the world need a good quality wide angle lens that they can screw onto their cameras

[@accidentallyfasting5768]

I wish full frame sensor camcorders were out by now for a reasonable price. Can't believe you just threw away a camera tho lol

[@RoyalCaymanian]

[@TroyShaw]

I've been in the business for 25 years and it always shocked me that people would use DSLRs for video.

[@groovymotion5706]

If it had interchangeable lens and good low light it would be a nice option. When you said the price, I thought how many Canon M50 with a speedbooster I could get instead of this!

[@eggaweb]

Sony and Nikon should get together to open the Nikon 1 mount.

[@JohnnyYork]

Why do you need good low light and interchangeable lenses? So many don’t , but think they do.

[@groovymotion5706]

For different apertures! As an example, my standard 15-45mm at 22mm is at F4 while my 22mm is at F2! Maybe you don't like different apertures, obviously many are or else there wouldn't be so many different lenses. :)

Honestly man, I liked the image quality of the Sony camcorder more than whatever you recorded with indoors. It was a bit less harsh to my eyes. Cooler perhaps. The other thing that *seems* like it could be a benefit is the XLR handle kinda makes it look more “pro”, like if you were out trying to do work as a stringer videographer. Ya know, news camera or documentarian on the scene. Great review!

this is an older video.. is this still a great camera? I want to record stand up comedy shows.. would this be a good choice? thanks

No Sdi output though. You need Sdi for easier connection to broadcast equipment. I don't like using multiple converters

Then use the sony Z90... which is this but with SDI

[@ninjacaptor]

What is the difference between that cam and the z90

[@200447859]

The monitor in my Canon XA25 is touch already and I could adjust settings so am not reliant on the joystick.

I use a Sony FDR AX100 that I bought in 2016.Great camcorder with a lot of the same specs as the NX80 for around $1000 less.

55stangdude Auto focus the difference from what I can gather

[@kishanghaghada3467]

wich camera u shoot this video?

[@mikldude9376]

I'm thinking one advantage the camcorder has , and that is it won't have short time limits on recording , and probably will not over heat as many cameras do when doing video.
