Re: Sony's answer to the JVC HM100 and Canon XF100
It looks like the camcorder I've been waiting for. I hope it has a histogram. The wider lens, 96 GB internal memory and price are very attractive. I wonder why the audio module and handle are removable?
Expected in July for $3,200 U.S. |

Yes it has a histogram but looks to be basically a CX700 in a new box at 3 times the price. Most of the key specs are the same as the CX700, lens, recording, batteries, accessories etc . So its AVCHD rather than MPEG2 for instance.

We'll have to wait and see. CX700 + better lens + better sound maybe but it looks promising.

I still prefer the XF100 vs this one

I plan on buying a NXCAM this summer. I will appreciate everyone's help in making that decision.

Jvc released this video about the HM100 and they talk about these kind of situations JVC GY-HM100 Testimonial I'm exploring the option of getting the nx70 as a B camera when it's released because I'm getting really comfortable with the AVCHD format from sony...but the price tag is kinda high, I think mostly because of the internal flash drive. |

I hope we will be able to put on shoulder straps on the Sony. Because the biggest downside of the JVC HM100 for me, is that you couldn't put on a camera strap.

Re: Sony's answer to the JVC HM100 and Canon XF100
Some discussion has also been taking place here: http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/digital-...ust-proof.html
I'm getting quite excited about this camera. A year ago, I wanted a small cam that I could travel with more easily. The only choices were the HM100 (which was expensive, in the UK at least) and the Panasonic HMC41. The XF100 from Canon didn't exist then. I went for the Panasonic, but as a Sony Man I've never quite been happy. The NX70 seems to have improvements in all the areas that matter to me - much wider lens, better viewfinder, better LCD screen, more on-screen guides (I think), histogram, plus better layout, not to mention its water- and dust-proof properties. For me, it's all going to come down to price, some of the UK prices being quoted have it just at £300 less than the NX5, which is crazy. A release date of July also seems like a lifetime away! Patience, young man, patience! |
