Sony HXR-NX5U HD Camcorder Reviewed

 

The Sony HXR-NX5U is a true workhorse and one of the best camcorders in the AVCHD format. Professional event videographers will love the long record times and well thought out controls.

Good color balance, One-fourth-stop manual iris, 20x Sony G Lens, Great optics

29.5mm at the widest is good, but you might need an adapter if you want a little more room., Front shoe mount may put you at odds with the LCD's ability to flip out., GPS might be a little too far ahead of its time

Pass everywhere, light will be on drugs.

Quality of the bad slow motion, and quality of recording in mode(fashion) automobile not trés satisfying, embellish with images fuzziness(vagueness) when we make a slightly too fast panoramic view.

With a large battery and two cards have capacity for hours of recording. Has option to calibrate the picture with different modes, film, tv ... The audio is very correct and micro incorporating also very good.

The manual white balance is complicated. You'd push a button and go. The LCD screen is not well located, should be back near the viewfinder. The battery would have to be big, not small as you get with that price. When the image forces due to lack of...

Sony NXCAM HXR-NX5

 

I am very happy with the purchase so far, a great improvement on our previous camera. Ingesting media direct from memory card is a big time saver.

Rembering to create full disk image backup of media card for archive purposes. This will improve with time, and losing the comfort from having a physical tape
