SonyHDR FX1 HDV Camera with bad design.
Warning s.alle any purchaser of a HDR FX1: The display of this camera shows only 80% of the filmed image! Unfortunately, this error can be recognized only if the clips into the editing program loads and still remembers s.den selected section in the recording. For somewhat serious working filmmakers who choose deliberately to the Recording for the section, this means that later in the editing program crop the image as much as 20% have and that means 20% of the much vaunted HDV quality (, or approximately 400 ' 00 pixel) in the bin! Who can believe it hardly synonymous, movies with his FX1 a scale and look at the result in the computer, PC, for example in Liquid Edition 6.1 on Mac as with i-Movie.
Asked about the problem of customer service of Sony Switzerland has reacted as follows: 1 "We have never heard of, which may well be not at all", 2 (; After consultation with the repair service Switzerland) "which can be adjusted, a small thing", 3rd (; Repair service Switzerland) "We can not adjust, we have sent the camera to the factory in Alsace, there can set the 100% pure, 4 (; Work Alsace) "Sorry, we can not set", 5th (; Sony Switzerland) "Thank you for your tests, I was not aware of the problem and have learned. I can offer you a replacement, unfortunately, my boss has meant that holding an amateur camera, and there was such a departure was completely normal. "

That is precisely. We speak here of a giant plasma (; about 110 diagonal, type name I've forgotten) of LG, a discontinued model, the brave ¬ 1,600 costs and with 1200irgendwas possible resolution here of comparing me with one - noah Regulation, 3000 ¬ expensive? - New Panasonic, something smaller to something in 1300 resolution. The latter showed a DVD 520p (; with a SonyDVD in Progressive Fashion on YUV). What is the HD standard really so unique that it is because the higher resolution? Please get me wrong: I'm just asking.

"1920x1080" TV can buy without having to take out a loan ...
We show the time "Star Wars" in this format on a 160-square-screen (and the server lists the film unexplained legally under MPEG2 23p). The sharpness is at least as good as 35mm film, not to mention the whole range of contrast and image stability (; the movie, however one can endure only in terms of technical interest). I believe that such a resolution is given away for a home-plasma, as would have been a power-projectors (; and a private cinema) have.
Nochwas: If I am not interested in this camera so I would not ask so many times.

Quote from:
www.hdtv-forum.ch "How much better than the HDTV standard 720p is 1080i?
Under no circumstances. Which of the two standards, the better results, the experts argue. The much larger number of lines can initially expect a greater focus at 1080i. But strictly speaking, be seen later in the "interlaced" display of 1080i only the 540 lines of a field and for a moment the second half of the picture with the same number of lines. merge only thanks to the inertia of the human visual system, these two fields subjective to a full screen. In addition, the fields for display on displays and projectors to be converted into frames, which is not without its problems. The progressive view of 720p, however, shows only frames with 720 lines. It brings so many advantages with quality that most people feel both format equivalent. Apart from this, let frames compress much more efficiently. TV stations can broadcast both format receivers can both show format. "
That's what I've read several times.
For HD Ready TV with a screen size home of 94-106cm 720p well enough from completely!
Antwort von Axel:

Thanks for the link. Well, here is probably no uncertain and clearly said, 720p is subjective, of the same resolution as 1080i at significantly lower memory requirements (; so synonymous data stream). Having never a really convincing plasma screen had seen before, and this is "only" 720p, I will eventually but to 1080p; wait (the Panasonic AG VX200, which will have 4:2:2 color sampling synonymous, good for composite). The viewfinder would have been bearable for me.

Axel, concerning your question, I suggest you read the following link:

That problem is that Sonyin record 1080 is not only that of Sony. The technology to record in HDV-resolution frames seems at the moment are not yet at a reasonable price to have.

I do not take it crooked, was only actually a Frustrülpser. I like many are trying to do here, with little opportunity to work their AV expensive hobby (; with-) finance. Because it annoys me of course if a reasonably affordable part (; I even at the dealer for 3000 ¬ get why it should cost you 5000?) Once again is exposed as inadequate. Of course the story with the viewfinder is a real shortcoming.
But a question s.den professional: the camera has not a much greater problem - apart of the MPEG-recording times?
To explain: In the same subject history, in which I have tested the camera, was issued an LG Plasma Television, and the image blew me away literally. Was connected to an HDTV hard drive, the movie was a potpourri of sky-diving, tropical fish, colorful butterflies and similar stuff.
Later, I went again and asked for. The seller told me that the resolution is 720p and my YUV connections pointed to the back. All other plasma (; synonymous of something even smaller Panasonic Viera) showed Lord of the Rings DVD of comparatively muddy swirling around right with clouds of liquid crystals.
Can you tell me whether the "p" in HD is the great charm? DVD can be put to good at shooting synonymous play progressive, but such a stark increase in quality you find not there. Is that the problem of Sony, that here again only one "i" was taken?
Again sorry for the moaning. Forums are democratic, there must of course be prepared for anything.

I have just left the shop, where you have permitted me, with the HR FX1E record on a separate tape and to capture the spot on a Powerbook. These posts in mind, I turned the monitor to me and went to the recording with the index finger tip s.den image along edges in the absence of a test pattern template. The recorded material was in fact more, ie, the fingertip touched the edge s.None place, but that inadvertently "won" in no case material makes up 20%! It's not as if the monitor is the title safe area View and record the full screen. I filmed the friendly adviser and a little waved wildly through the store to see how the image looks like in motion.
Monitor this story may disturb some, if that is alone, it would almost double the price I do not for the Z1 value. Since I could flirt with even more expected in the autumn Panasonic AG HVX200, the price would probably be comparable.
The statement "was a typical amateur camera" does this perspective. However, the HDV image with a direct Comparison is dependent but significantly better than DV-image of the VX2100, which is so well established as a professional tool for many applications. Measurements can testify as much.

Ifs very disturbing closing I just headed for a Trans Video Rainbow II 7 "TFT with underscan. Then I know what I'm filming.

By the way, is from 50 full 1080p images. The HVX200 does NOT 1080p. But 25PsF. That is, 25 frames into 50 fields written in 1080i.
Antwort von wolfgang:
At 1080 25p to expect probably the same behavior as at 720 25p. What of the EBU is recommended, therefore, not synonymous 720 25p, 50p, but 720.

A really good study on this subject can be found here (, but registration is required):
http://www.film-tv-video.de/reportdetails+M57e8e82c6f9.html
Conclusion: 720 compared with 1080 50i 50p has nowirklichen disadvantages - at least not in vision devices to 50 inches. Where one should not forget that the 720p JVC camcorder film of just 25p in 720 - and so it goes in the direction containing more than 720 film look 50p.
And with the FX1 behavior you will probably have to live - or you are confined to the HC1 or the Z1. The large overscan area in the viewfinder is unpleasant, but that's been known for some time and really noNeuigkeit in this thread more here.
