Hello from Upstate, NY - Advice Wanted
Hi to all. I'm new to this forum and need some advice. For the past 5 years I've been shooting weddings, special events, and a few corporate jobs with my VX2000/XLR adapter. I have a potential client that may need video in HD and I'm looking for suggestions for a HD camcorder. With the advent of the DTV conversion next month, I'm thinking it may be necessary to upgrade to HD. I've been very pleased with my VX2k and like Sony products in general. What would be a good Sony camcorder to buy to make the transition to HD video?

But want to upgrade the equipment anyway - my VX2k1's are almost 4 yrs old and I wish to be able to produce more film-like videos. My choice would be FX1000 - check out its section - multiple comparisons between FX1K and VX2K. |
The FX1000 is a great recommendation, but if you're put off by either the cost or its size and ergonomics, you could also consider the FX7, which in my opinion is the best bang for the buck in the HDV arena. Its shape, size and form factor are nearly identical to the VX2000 (I even use my VX2K rain slicker on my FX7 and it almost fits) and the picture is generally stunning, especially in good light.
But the FX1000 will perform much better in low light than the FX7, almost as good as your VX. I've personally been very happy with my FX7's low-light performance, but there are others here who -- ahem -- aren't. |
