V1 color tone
My Japanese employes were always amazed I could point-out the Sony camera screen grabs in "Video Salon." I can't read a word of Japanese!
The clue was bluish-green leaves and blue white tile used on many buildings in Japan -- including the Sony building in Ginza. This month's Video Salon compares the FX1 to the FX7. Pix of girl in pure white blouse in front of green trees. The FX1: bluish blouse and bluish leaves. But, the FX7 -- pure white blouse and green leaves. Thank you Sony! In every test, the FX7 trumps the FX1. However, the same issue had a great comparison of the HV10 and HC3. Here, the HV10 really shines. Most interesting was a roadmap of AVCHD. Looks like 24Mbps is the target data-rate. I can't tell why we are getting 12Mbps and 15Mbps this fall. |
That sounds promising. I am really having a hard time picking the right camera. It will be the Canon XH-A1, Sony HVR-V1 or Sony HVR-Z1. The first one has above average CA, the V1 is a bit smaller then I would like, and has a 62mm thread, but for the rest seems to be of great image quality... and the Z1 is already getting old and has its own issues. It will be though.

- do you have a link for those 'Video Salon' pics please ? Would be interesting to see. thanks |
Unfortunately, they are in the magazine.

ahh ok.
now worries - thanks for replying anyway. |
haha! you sound like me. I'll be watching TV with my friends (especially reality TV) and I'll tell them what camera they're using, or at least the brand. I was watching a show yesterday on Bravo...recognized that familiar compression and color of my FX1...1 minute later the cameraman passed in front of a mirror and to my friend's amazment the camera was a Z1U. I do the same thing all the time with photos (I used to sell cameras/camcorders...I've had a lot of time to learn to notice the slight differences)
I'd also be interested in seeing this pictures, does this magazine have a website with their articles? |
