Yes that's right, twice in one tradeshow, DVXuser is proud to be the first to post video from a new camera.

A few mintues ago I got over to Sony and got some footage rolled off in their new V1E camera.

I have HDV and DV 16:9 in both 50i and 25P on tape and captured!

The files are uploading now...

I will organaize and caption/explain settings etc, as I have time in the coming days, but for now, without furthur ado:


PLEASE RIGHT-CLICK AND SAVE file to your hard drive, I don't know what my server can take.

These have been shot quickly at a tradeshow booth in non-ideal conditions. THESE ARE NOT THE BEST THAT THIS CAMERA IS CAPABLE OF.

nice work Mikko

what's your thoughts on the footage? - especially your gut feeling of it versus what you would have got out of a FX1 or Z1

cheers
 
Rename the HDV .mpg files to .m2t (change the file extension) and they play fine in VLC.

These look pretty good. Thanks Mikko!
 
I have split feeleing of the footage.

Its a very clean highres video, but it still feels like video.

Would be nice to now the tweaks in the camera.
 
Puff, if it's the same cinematone as on the Z1/FX1 it is not very good. I'm looking for the same image control as the A1/DVX/HVX/H1/etc...

if they finally understood that people want real 25p they probably put cinegammas and more controls in the v1
 
I did not try any complicated settings, other than a set of gain tests. I'll post a report on those when I get home to Finland where I can handle Sony HDV properly.

- Mikko ... kicks himself for forgetting the slo-mo.

Don't worry Mikko, you already did a great job! Thanks :beer: I believe this camera has more than gain settings...sure it has a good control of image considering it's a "professional" product as Sony declares.
 
The footage looks pretty good considering how funky Cineframe looked (though a recent project used Cineframe 24 and they fiddled with it in post and the outcome looked pretty snazzy). But I want to see what the US version will look like, I hope that people won't have to continue to use the "Z1-25p-to-24p"-method to get decent results.

By the way, MovieSwede, I too felt that it looked a tad bit more on the video side than film but then again, to me, even Cinealta 24p looked strange compared to Panasonic's, Canon's, and JVC's 24p. COMPLETELY SUBJECTIVE OPINION, of course.
