vx100

not detailed enough with menu setting functions. also, i disagree with the Red saturation observation. i noticed more green than red. sony is known for robust reds. this cam shows more greens for sure!Lcd screen not accurate to footage shot. must be ajdusted down in brightness. colors were more accurate than pd150. no comments about batteries? juice gets sucked up quickly and large 53A battery has belt clip and adapter does not attach directly to camera.

Vx100

I can\'t believe the last comment, I\'ve had my 100 for about a month now and have zero complaints. I use a DVCPro camera for normal shooting and the 24p got my interest. I do think the body of it could be a little more heavy duty but at the price who cares (don\'t drop it). The settings allow any look you want, it\'s a pro-sumer dream that will not break the bank. I\'m even using it on TV commercial shoots and my clients love shots i get with this camera.

Review balance and side by side missing

An excellent review, but I have unanswered/unaddresed questions. We read about the pros, but what about the cons? I need this for balance and to validate the review. Also, how does it compare to its\' competitors in key performance areas. Too much effort and time is spent on the 24 fps issue (not a criticism of the feature, just the coverage of it). Overall very insightful and helpful, just a couple of thoughts.

Great!

Nice hands on review. I didn\'t know the shutter speed only goes to 1/500th. Anyways, there\'s always the MX5000 from Tim, if you cannot afford the pricey DVX price tag!

(for shutter speeds greater than 1/500th)

Film maker\'s dream

I\'ve had this camera for about a month. It has a great look at 24p with cine-gamma like features. If you want to study film, this is the camera. If you want to make a feature, this is the camera.

I was remiss...

...in mentioning that the hot red is in 24p with the cinegamma on. So Ej was right about that.There is somewhat of a "green thing" going on when shooting in 60i. As for color accuracy, I can say it\'s better than the GL2 (which is saying a lot actually) but I\'ve never used a PD-150 so I can\'t vouch for that.

shutter speeds

The GL2 Shutter speeds go from 1/8 to 1/15000 I think. I would have liked this one to go down to at least 1/30. And a stop on the focus/zoom rings. And what about the audio/video non-synch problems being reported by many DVX100 users?

The camera has a lot of control for prosumers and in the right hands some gorgous images will be made. Every filmmaker will have theor own settings and reason. None of them are wrong, make it work the way you want it to work. That is one if this camera\'s strongest features.

AG-DVX100 vs PD150

I own two PD150 for the past two years.
I had the chance to try the AG-SVX100 for the whole week-end...! thanks Victor !
The AG_DVX100 produces a picture quality that is much better than the PD150.
The AG-DVX has a far better "natural" sharpness (not artificial contrast).
...very detailed picture...
The image is more natural and it really looks like film.

Question

This review claims that 24p video cannot be edited in editing software like premiere? why not? is the limitation in the premiere software, or is is that 24p is not DV spec? What about if you are editing on a PC, and you want true progessive 24p video to release in high quality on the web, how would you go about this?

I\'ve used jvc-500, cannon xl1 and 16mm film . The dv-100 is the best, when it come to indie filmmaking. the cinema gama and 24 frames is what makes the camera.i was amazed with the picture quality when standing inside a room and shooting through the window how clear the out side was. When I did it with the jvc and xl1 it look white. This camera allows you to be more creative and because of that i sold my 16mm. Its not HD but its close if your low budget

New consumer 3ccd shoots 30p with CineGamma

For those interested, the new Japanese 3ccd consumer model NV-GS100K (which replaces the mx5000/pvdv953) includes a new "Pro cinema mode" that shoots at 30p and includes CineGamma. Unfortunately, it's not available outside of Japan yet. It's a tad bit smaller than the previous model and comes in two colors: silver and black. It has the same size CCDs, but they've made quite a few improvements, including a higher resolution wide screen image (28% increase from 290 lines to 370 lines). The Magic Pix function now features two shutter speeds: 1/4 and 1/8. The new camera is rated at 12 lux (as opposed to the current 15 rating).... not sure how this was achieved.

DVX100 superior to PD150

Having used both Panasonic's DVX100 & Sony's PD150, the DVX100 wins everytime. Sony seems to have the broadcast market sewn up with their Betacam's ect, so it doesn't seem to make sense to why they'd produce a camera that is truly broadcast quality. With Panasonic it's different. The DVX100 can handle highlights & high contrast situations with ease, every bit comparable to many high end 2/3inch true broadcast cameras. It's also has brilliant color rendition. I've had a gutfull of producers telling me they want to use the PD150, just because it's a "Sony". The PD150's shocking ablity to handle contrasty high lights, & it's un-natural color tones, makes the DVX100 my choice for easy intercutting with DVCPRO & Digital Betacam. At last a true "Broadcast quality" handycam.
