View all of the best consumer video production products of 2009, selected by the editors of Videomaker Imagine That Costing $3,200, the HDR-FX1000 is Sony's new version of the HDR-FX1. Sony has included three 1/3-inch ClearVid CMOS sensors instead of three CCDs, chopped off about an inch of the body, and added a new 20 x 29.5mm wide-angle G-Lens.
With a few design and functional changes, the FX1000 is the ultimate amateur and beginning professional's weapon of choice. Let's Take a Look Weighting in at four pounds, nine ounces, the FX1000 feels easy to shoot with. It's not too heavy, and it's not too light. The new 29.5mm wide-angle G-Lens with 20x optical zoom range eliminates the problems of shooting at a distance or at an extremely close range. Mimicking the FX1, the playback functions are located under the LCD display, on the camera body.
The rocker zoom and Memory Stick sit on the right side on this model, with the on board functions and tape transport on the left. Capture that HD. Zapiks.com, 26362 ski snowboard skate mountainbike surf videos.
