Sony HXR NX100?
- Thread starter Speedster159
- Start date
Okay, I've had the NX100 for a couple of days now and this is what I think so far:
The bad:
A bit on the heavy side, I still haven't quite figured out the most comfortable way to hold it (but it's getting better)
Slightly front heavy when using the included battery, but that's only noticeable when carrying by the handle
The zoom on the handle only has one sensitivity, the speed can be set in the menu.
The zoom ring has a good bit of delay, like I feared. I can live with that, but it makes the ring a bit less nice to use.
No PAL/NTSC region switchability. (Why in the world is this still considered a big feature? It's really dumb, ESPECIALLY considering even Sony's own action camera line can do it. I would consider shooting NTSC even though I'm in a PAL area because computer screens run at 60Hz and there's a noticeable difference between 50fps and 60fps on a 60Hz screen. Am I supposed to import a camera from another country just so I can get a different framerate? Absolutely ridiculous.)
Anyway, now the good parts:
Excellent build quality. Feels like serious gear.
Very detailed 1080p image, even with a lot of gain it doesn't lose much detail. (Probably because this camera actually downsamples from a higher resolution)
Surprisingly clean low-light performance. This is clearly a camera where you are supposed to use gain.
Can record timelapses at down to 1fps with a 1 second shutter speed for super smooth and clean timelapses.
Many picture profile adjustments, so you can make it look just like you want to.
Boots up rather quickly (Unless you're turning it on for the first time after inserting a battery)
That's pretty much it so far.
Also worth noting that it works fine with a 128GB card, even though Sony doesn't officially list any 128GB cards as supported.
I wouldn't be suprised if someone discovers that this camera is technically capable of recording 4K video and it's simply just a firmware limitation. As great as this camera is, I think it could be so much more if Sony had made it 4K capable and kept the price the same. It would surely be a game changer.
For what it is so far though, it's a solid 1080p camera. And I don't have a direct HMC150 comparison, but I'm pretty sure it's superior in every way, image quality wise.
