Sony HDR-FX1 Ginza Seminar Report

My colleague had participated in "Ginza seminar" of the HDV the other day.

Report from Japan:

The image that a large-scale plasma monitor for HD reproduced firmly conquered the weak point of MPEG2-TS by an image quality high as it was not possible to show with past DV, and was surprised at the image without failure at all for a moment also on the screen where a lot of movements existed to be finished.
I think that it turns in the one left as a record image.
However, it seems not to be suitable for a work that is too real, away from the reality.

Few more reports from my friend in Japan.

Some people thought FX-1 is the best consumer camera at present. Test pictures are pretty decent but painful picture for example: Waterfall water drops, close up shots of waves of the ocean and general view of the ocean (wide and close up, both).
Allover MPEG picture that is tested and taken was beautiful.

Comparison: BS digital broadcasting in Japan is assumed to be 100%, FX1’s picture quality is about 80%.
However, the block noises are none at all.
Also s/n, gain up is very good, even 9db up, there is no noise.
Handling FX-1: it’s big and heavy, but if you use shoulder-pod, it’s will be easy and new 16:9 LCD monitor is very good and zoom in focus feature is very helpful. One negative feature is audio recoding level is very difficult control.

24p cine like intelace featureis good also, but best part is SD DV and shoot HD, you can switch.
The responses are good, for the price, it’ll be a winner in Japan.
Anyway I got so much information, I can’t translate everything, I think you guys better wait until real reporter will publish soon.
It's not related to DVXusers but intersting to see how the world is changing.

sorry, the first translation that I use automatic translator by machine. :-/

This week, in Japan, Sony held FX-1 seminar. Each fx-1 seminar took only 30 people and total 400 peole. I'm in US now and working DVX projects, I couldn't attend it, so I send my friends to go there.
