I believe that even the consumer type custmer would pass.

Direct to disk FTW. HDV is kryptonite!

Most cameras do 1080/24P (to tape) by recording 1080i with 3:2 advanced pulldown so that it can be converted to 24P without any data loss. Recording 60 full frames per second would not offer any benefit, as you'd just have more doubled frames (and higher bandwidth to support it).

I'm surprised you'd pass on it due to this one possible shortcoming (which we don't have the details to confirm or deny yet), when the real benefit that puts this above most consumer cameras is the sensors - 3CCD as opposed to CMOS. Color is much more precise on a 3CCD camera, even at 480i/p modes.]]>Sep 4th 2008 3:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/04/sony-debuts-hdr-fx1000-hvr-z5j-high-def-camcorders/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/04/sony-debuts-hdr-fx1000-hvr-z5j-high-def-camcorders/Sep 10th 2008 11:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/04/sony-debuts-hdr-fx1000-hvr-z5j-high-def-camcorders/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/04/sony-debuts-hdr-fx1000-hvr-z5j-high-def-camcorders/

if you shoot and watch enough video, you start to understand what has an impact on image quality and what doesn't. at this point, the sensors matter much more than HD, and i'm surprised this post didn't even bother to mention that it's a 3-chip, especially after sony tried to pass of the HVR-HD1000U as a prosumer camera. ]]>Sep 5th 2008 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/04/sony-debuts-hdr-fx1000-hvr-z5j-high-def-camcorders/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/04/sony-debuts-hdr-fx1000-hvr-z5j-high-def-camcorders/

Canon A1 uses CCD with a universal shutter.
Much better quality camera. ]]>Sep 11th 2008 3:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/04/sony-debuts-hdr-fx1000-hvr-z5j-high-def-camcorders/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/04/sony-debuts-hdr-fx1000-hvr-z5j-high-def-camcorders/Sep 12th 2008 4:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/04/sony-debuts-hdr-fx1000-hvr-z5j-high-def-camcorders/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/04/sony-debuts-hdr-fx1000-hvr-z5j-high-def-camcorders/Anyone who has the money to buy anything you want go ahead but after using this camera it is a stunner and beats most other cameras hands down for quality. The lens is stunning, the new LCD is crystal clear and amazingly sharp, the new iris is a huge improvement on pulling focus and provides beautiful background blur.
The progresive is better than none and gives sony a good start in the field.
the light sensitivity is 1.5 lux at 1.25th which with the black stretch and lower noise ADC conversion gives almost PD170 quality low light footage except no wait its HD so is much better!

Hd is slowly coming in but if your buying, your buying to use now! Hence record HD and down convert to 16:9 SD its sharp as a scalpel and not only that if your a real sad winer why not record to digital AND casette in HD and DVCAM or DV AT THE SAME TIME!

Its stunning and a revalation for sony after all this time.
