Sony Electronics is expanding its line of solid state camcorders with its
newest HD video camera. From what I can tell this may be the best HD Video
camera under 5000.00$ for storm chasing. With the optional HXR-FMU128
flash memory unit you will be able to film over 7 hours of high quality HD video
without changing cards or tapes. The HXR-FMU128 flash memory unit also
allows for easy editing by removing it from the NX5 and plugging it directly
into the computer for instant access to the video clips.
Sony advertises the following:
The new HXR-NX5U camcorder is the first product of the Sony NXCAM generation,
and a new category of tapeless memory camcorder, providing an ideal balance of
power and performance in the digital age. Utilizing the revolutionary AVCHD
format, this camcorder offers long duration recording - with dual memory slots -
on affordable consumer memory cards. As it facilitates a totally IT-based
workflow, the HXR-NX5U has the potential to profoundly change the way content is
created. Simultaneous hybrid recording is available in HD and SD formats, using
the optional HXR-FMU128 flash memory unit. In any format, breathtaking picture
quality is assured with proven features such as a state-of-the-art G Lens and
three Exmor CMOS sensors with a ClearVid array. Professionals expect this
standard of picture quality from Sony ... and accept nothing less.
Highlights:
* HDSDI and HDMI Output
* Linear PCM Audio
* Simultaneous SD/HD Recording via HXR-FMU128
* SMPTE Time Code In/Out Connector
* Built-in GPS Function
* Memory Stick PRO Duo™
* PRO Duo HG™ and SDHC Card Compatible
This year I will be shooting with the new Sony NX5U - Below HD video was shot
with the Canon XH A1 I hope the NX5 will be even better video.
