Sony HDR-FX1 Camera Test

Jun 26
2009

This is test footage I shot with the Sony HDR-FX1.

I was going for a soft, moody, fantasy look. Used cineframe 30, a slow shutter speed (1/60th) and turned down the pixel sharpness as far as it would go.

A lot of Color Correction here done in Final Cut Pro.

Shot just north of LA in the San Gabriel mountains along the Angeles Crest Road. I got lucky with the low clouds and mist.

The music is from “The Village” by James Newton Howard and “1492″ by Vangelis.

Duration : 0:5:12

    I buoght my FX-1 in 2005 after three years is still one of the best cam only the z1 is superior with two or three upgrade,but both cams are equal in images quality and shootin in low light the two cams got no rivals, so FX-1 with 3CCD is way better than FX7 with cmos censor.

    3 way CC stands for 3-way color corrector. almost any editing soft has it

    Most people think so but personally this camera is easier to handle and plus the FX-1 has a 3CCD censor which is higher quality than the FX-7′s CMOS censor. I still like both cameras though.
