Sony HVR-HD1000U: Twenty Pics
 

Here's another look at the new HVR-HD1000U from Sony. Click the thumbnails to see 'em big:

And a few more...

And more... kinda rough quality though...

Thanks very much for posting the pictures, Chris.

It looks like a standard mini-jack that the mic plugs into, and I'm sure BeachTek or another company will make an 2 channel XLR audio adapter that will plug into it. If the LCD screen and viewfinder are decent quality, and there's at least some manual control (albeit menu driven), this could be a viable option for me, at least as a back-up camera. Another factor is how good it is in low-light (comparable with or a little better than the HC7?). Also, I don't see an "Edit Search" or "RET" button for reviewing the last few seconds of a recording.

Great pics Chris!

Where are all the controls? I don't even see a menu dial - or a main power switch!

Power on/off is located at the primary rec trigger on the handgrip. Menu? Good question!

Added a horse shoe and the end of the hander for DR60 good idea. As in open up all cover to see everything build in functions is a WOW!!! thing. Dose it need to be that size and not much buttons or functions. Is that waste of materials?

sony light??????
 

Does anyone know what sony light that is in the pic
Thanks

Thats the HVL-LBP LED light.

This must be another touch screen cam then cause I don't see any buttons for the VCR control. Can you take a pic of the VCR controls?

awsome thanks for the info. Has any one ever used this? And what did you think?

Hmm this might make a nice second cam and one for rough locations and for my family stuff :P

It looks (according to the specs I read) like it only has one CCD though? Or did I read wrong?

Any updates on this camera (release date, price, manual controls etc)?

I know it's wrong not to like something before you know much about it, but this camera just doesn't get me excited. It's style reminds me of 1980's consumer vhs shoulder mounted cameras. I'll reserve final judgement until people actually have them in hand and tell of their experinces with them & post some footage, but I'm starting off less than impressed.

Yeah to be honest a single chip camera doesn't excite me much either..
