If I am not mistaken, I think SONY is re-releasing the FX-7 again.

I thought the FX7 was dead and the FX1000 was the newest "consumer" camera.

And are these using pixel shift? or are they a lot closer to a native resolution than the cameras before them? |

Hope that helps. |

I seem to recall the announcement was actually at the tail end of the FX1000/Z5 press release. Here's the original thread announcing this but no link to the press release... and after about five posts the discussion devolves into the supporters and detractors of the FX7 arguing with one another. http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/sony-hvr-...wer-price.html |

FX7 in Low Light?
We have a z7 for our main HD camera. Can someone tell me which would be the right sony solution in low light HDV? Does the FX7 do that? Or are the 1/4" CMOS just toooooo small?

fX7 in low light
if low light efectiveness is what you're after I'd stay clear of the FX7, dont get me wrong, its great in good/decent lighting, but pretty poor in low light.
Look at the new FX1000/Z5 that sony are releaseing in the next few weeks, very good in low light (I've personally had a shot of a demo Z5) All the best James |
Rodger, just sold my FX7, and am so glad I did...very poor in low light, it will not match up well with what you are currently running.
Footage was unusable next to the PD series cams. Not that it is a fair comparison, but the FX7 was so far off in so many ways, I just couldn't use it. And while there are those who will argue till the death about this, I found the picture from the FX7 very soft as well. The 1/4" chips just can't cut it, at least not for me. |
You had a duff FX-7 for sure,recently i did some filming with a friend and his F1, he let me edit some of the footage together the FX-7 footage was sharper with the resolution setting on both cams in the preset centre setting,no way does the FX 7 give soft results,some of the colours leave a little to be desired maybe to my liking,its also not meant for too low light filming.

I guess it depends on what you're coming from. I've been shooting with an A1U. The low light on the FX7 will be a big improvement for me. I'll miss the XLR, but it's not a big deal for most of my projects. I'll add a BeachTec sometime in the future.

HVR-MRC1K list price
Sony finally has listed it's list price for the HVR-MRC1K and also a list price for the Z5
Sony Product Detail Page - HVRMRC1K Sony Product Detail Page - HVRZ5U Wonder what the street price will be on the MRC1K |
In my experience, new Sony pro products' street price is close to the MSRP. It drops soon after, or at least depending on how sales go. The V1u dropped from $5000 to about $3800 in a matter of months, early last year.
