I bought two of these a number of years ago. A great camera. I used Atomos Ninjas to capture the video. I made a lot of money with these. Videos from these stand up. I still have these clips in my portfolio. My son, shot his second feature film on these cameras.
@@jourwalis-8875 it has hdmi out so can capture Video via that output with a unit that takes hdmi in. It’s an awesome camera though I just use mine with tape still 👍
There is a cold shoe on the top that you can attach a light to. You can import to Final Cut, render, and upload to youtube. There is a flash drive 'box' you can buy to record to instead of tape, I'm not sure about the hard drive.
I haven't ran across many semipro, prosumer, or even pro cameras that record on HDD. The higher end JVC's run off of Solid State drives but they are 10,000 USD+. I am getting this this week and held it in the store today afternoon. It's a very nice camera which is sturdily built.
I noticed you've talked about connecting an external mic but where do you actually "place" the mic itself? No XLR's at all, right? We'll wait for your replay. Thanks a lot.
The SR12? It's great at first but it's lacking a lot of things that I would want with the FX1000. The biggest thing I thought that the SR12 had was the ability to change the iris with the knob in the front but its only for whitebalance and focusing.
the HDR-fx7 its the newer version of this and apparently works very well but you have to know what your doing you cant just film right out of the box you gotta set it up
To the video poster, how good is the depth of field? I was deciding between this, the fx7, and the a1u and I decided to go with this. I can't find many HD depth of field videos with this cam.
I have one myself. But you have to remember it´s not a professional camera. It is a "Handycam" and by that Sony means that it is an "amateur camera". Even if it is rather advanced, you can´t get professional pictures or broadcast quality from it. It has not even full HD (1080 x 1920). And now it is almost impossible to get hold of Mini-DV tapes.....
You can order one ($3200 ea.) from B&H in New York, Samy's in Calif or just go to SONY Style at one of their stores at a mall. Or online through any of the above retailers
Don't really think that! They recieve these things to test, and have to give 'em back (most of the time). This is a good ad for every company who is willing to participate in such things. Tracy & Matt are always objective, impartial, and overviews items very briefly. ;)
Hi, im thinking about buying one of these but was wondering if you can record in hd then output it to the computer for editing and transfer to dvd in standard defenition? many thanks
@GleekItsOlly well, maybe yes but i don't think so, sony vegas is so expensive for coming with a camera... I got the sony hdr cx-305E and it didnt come with it
.Just saying I'm happy with factory firmware,but my one problem is I can't figure out how to turn off the zoom display.I have an Atomos field recorder monitor and all other displays are able to shut off except the zoom display.Can you please tell me if theres any way of turning off the zoom display as then I could record through the hdmi set up to the Atomos recorder.Thanks
i was just about to look more into buying this one until i found (thanks to this vid) that it uses tape for recording HD rather than what i'm looking for which is flash based recording oh well... thanks again for the upload
@HappyFilmer I couldn't agree with you more. I just finished my certification in Television Production, and all the buzz about built in hard drives , SD cards, and USB cables are marketing gags. MiniDV, just tape for the matter, records and sustains leaps of quality over all this electronic means of storage. People need to do their research...
I have 3 of these cameras. They're good for event videography, such as weddings, quinceaneeras (sweet sixteens) or family reunions. I'll be buyibg a SONY EX3.
NOOO I have a Sony HDR-SR12. I used it for a year and I'm upgrading to this baby. There's a huge difference. Don't waste your money getting the SR12 and upgrading later to the FX1000.
i have the JVC and it sucks. D: i want this too, but it would take a LONG time so i'm probably getting the Sony DCR-TRV17. it's not as fantastic, but it's affordable - $350 i think
yeah, but minidv tapes aren't film, they're magnetized ribbons. Plus not everyone in the industry uses film. For example in Avatat they used 2 sony hdcp1, which are completely digital. And you know RED? That shit doesn't uses tapes or film, it uses red cards.
Im still a little confused about the memory stick slot. a regular ms pro duo card is NOT capable of recording videos? If anyone could, would you please elaborate (:
my new computer dosent have the wirefire how i can tranfer via sub i allredy check on video store but i cant find a cable that goes from my camera to sub. help.
Yo tengo una pregunta espero me entiendan y me puedan responder ami me mandaran a una tienda donde venden camaras para video y varios bendedores me recomendaron la FX1000 y al parecer me combencieron y gravo el evento muy bien empieso a reproducir y a checarlo se mira bien en el dia cuando cay la noche se mira muy chinito la imajen y le pongo luz pero no deja de mirarce mal ojala me puedan dar una recomendacion porque no se que acer les digo la imajen se be vien en el dia pero en la noche no
@nachotolu El error de la mayoría de las cámaras digitales CCD actuales es verse con puntos verdes y líneas similares a una interferencia analógica durante las tomas nocturnas.
@TheCallofDutyHelper yeah i understand and im not trying to hate on the fx1000 at all and i even said the1000 is better in different situations. because of its pro features. but the 5d shoots a little crisper video. and has a much better low light sensor. probably the better of most prosumer camcorders... why i have no idea.
Got one last month and it’s still an epic camera in 2019! Screw 4K let’s go old school 😂
Is it worth for ppl to get into videotaping?
Στάθης Κουρδής yes if you can get a good deal for one on eBay I’d say get it! It’s an awesome camera 😊
I bought two of these a number of years ago. A great camera. I used Atomos Ninjas to capture the video. I made a lot of money with these. Videos from these stand up. I still have these clips in my portfolio. My son, shot his second feature film on these cameras.
"Atomos Ninjas to capture the video"(?). What do you mean? And "made a lot of money with these"? Please explain!
I´m a filmmaker myself.
@@jourwalis-8875 it has hdmi out so can capture Video via that output with a unit that takes hdmi in. It’s an awesome camera though I just use mine with tape still 👍

There is a flash drive 'box' you can buy to record to instead of tape, I'm not sure about the hard drive.
Hi, nice video. What is this camera good for compared to a.. for example Sony SR12E HD Camcorder? OR any other camcorder?
I haven't ran across many semipro, prosumer, or even pro cameras that record on HDD. The higher end JVC's run off of Solid State drives but they are 10,000 USD+. I am getting this this week and held it in the store today afternoon. It's a very nice camera which is sturdily built.
I noticed you've talked about connecting an external mic but where do you actually "place" the mic itself? No XLR's at all, right?
We'll wait for your replay. Thanks a lot.
I also have an SR12 and I'm looking at either getting the FX1000 or the Red Scarlet when it comes out.
@EthaanChristian Yeah, it works on a mac. You just firewire in and log and capture in FCP.
The SR12? It's great at first but it's lacking a lot of things that I would want with the FX1000. The biggest thing I thought that the SR12 had was the ability to change the iris with the knob in the front but its only for whitebalance and focusing.
@DefiniteMC yes, you could use an external drive made that will mount on the camera
That`s awesome! Why 1080i and not 1080p?
excellent video to share. I am thinking of buying this to shoot a documentary
the HDR-fx7 its the newer version of this and apparently works very well but you have to know what your doing you cant just film right out of the box you gotta set it up
Firewire can transfer 1080p HD right?
To the video poster, how good is the depth of field? I was deciding between this, the fx7, and the a1u and I decided to go with this. I can't find many HD depth of field videos with this cam.
Love this camera, one question though, what do you think about the sony hvra1u vs the fx 1000.
What Kind of Camera are you filming with?
Does it work with mac?
my sony Hdr-xr500v handycam is very incompatible with my mac and it is REALLY annoying.
dude that is one sick ass camara...
im so getting one of those later on...
Im new with these types of camera, but how can you get your videos on PC, if its records on tape ? :s
I'm a 14 year old indie film student and I'm getting this next week! :D
I have one myself. But you have to remember it´s not a professional camera. It is a "Handycam" and by that Sony means that it is an "amateur camera". Even if it is rather advanced, you can´t get professional pictures or broadcast quality from it. It has not even full HD (1080 x 1920).
And now it is almost impossible to get hold of Mini-DV tapes.....
hey can you put youre footage on youre pc with the cables you got or have you to buy someting else to do that
@ArmyOfGamerZ DO YOU THINK the FX1000...is not good camera? because i want bay one..but I not sure...i will pay 3000...euros :-/
Do you buy everything you do reviews on? That could get EXPENSIVE!
is there two different types of fx1000s because half the videos i see have a 3ccd and the others have 3cmos??
is it any USB cable that you can put in your pc? instead of the tape?
Please this camera is since..in 08??? do you think is Great camera, yo short movies?
Thanks a lot
@pranxter08 Hey! Where did you find the camera for that price?
Thanks in advance
You can order one ($3200 ea.) from B&H in New York, Samy's in Calif or just go to SONY Style at one of their stores at a mall. Or online through any of the above retailers

@leodee there is a VERY BIG comparison actually.. You obviously haven't seen the 5D's video quality..
Which camera did you use to shot this clip?
Hi, im thinking about buying one of these but was wondering if you can record in hd then output it to the computer for editing and transfer to dvd in standard defenition?
many thanks
wait so do you have to shoot with a tape or does it have a San Disk Card?
I know its a stupid question. But is it better than the Nex Vg 10?
@ChaKaiProductions your thinking of the VX1000 probably, it doesnt have an lcd
Is this NTSC or PAL?
My camera is NTSC can I changed on Pal ?
Pleeasss Healp
@GleekItsOlly well, maybe yes but i don't think so, sony vegas is so expensive for coming with a camera... I got the sony hdr cx-305E and it didnt come with it
Can I send the footage I captured straight to my MAC?
Or is this camcorder just VCR?
so you say you can't use the sd memory card to have the videos on ?? or did you say we can use it to keep the videos on ???
do you get to keep everything you unbox?
The camera didn't come with Sony Vegas 9?
im buying it but can it connect to a computer? instead of converting tapes?
.Just saying I'm happy with factory firmware,but my one problem is I can't figure out how to turn off the zoom display.I have an Atomos field recorder monitor and all other displays are able to shut off except the zoom display.Can you please tell me if theres any way of turning off the zoom display as then I could record through the hdmi set up to the Atomos recorder.Thanks
@HitmanGTA4 you use a firewire cable
how much is this camera now? new or used?
Is this the same as the FX1?
i was just about to look more into buying this one until i found (thanks to this vid) that it uses tape for recording HD rather than what i'm looking for which is flash based recording
oh well... thanks again for the upload
Was this new or used?
its got those sweet spot auto-focus zooms tight?!!?!?!?
@HappyFilmer I couldn't agree with you more. I just finished my certification in Television Production, and all the buzz about built in hard drives , SD cards, and USB cables are marketing gags. MiniDV, just tape for the matter, records and sustains leaps of quality over all this electronic means of storage. People need to do their research...
@RDMSERVICES yes ofc you can just export in standard defenition on your software !
Is this camcorder good to film skateboarding?
I will never forget the day I opened mine!!
still remember?
@Eddieliebe I own a FX1000. I love it. 3000 Euros seems like you're paying too much. I got it for around 1900 Euros new.
i want that sooo baddd. :( I cannot wait till i can afford that! Thanks for the great vid! Greets from Holland
Why do they make new camcorders that record to tapes? Digital is much better and on memory cards?
how much can i get this for?
and where?
i want a cheap price
I have 3 of these cameras. They're good for event videography, such as weddings, quinceaneeras (sweet sixteens) or family reunions. I'll be buyibg a SONY EX3.
I am about to get this camera! this really helped me!
NOOO I have a Sony HDR-SR12. I used it for a year and I'm upgrading to this baby. There's a huge difference. Don't waste your money getting the SR12 and upgrading later to the FX1000.
not if you want to record 4:2:2 or higher bitrate than 25mbps. Plus HDV only records at 1440x1080, not full 1080p resolution.
what about uploading to a mac (preferably final cut express or FCP)
i have the JVC and it sucks. D: i want this too, but it would take a LONG time so i'm probably getting the Sony DCR-TRV17. it's not as fantastic, but it's affordable - $350 i think
is it heavy?
where i can fin this model
Sony HDR-FX1000
used one ?
Really great camera ! Thanks for video =)
This uses casettes?
what about the lcd screen in sunlight? Is it still usable? I heard complains about it. Can someone gives it experience with this please?
@leodee i dont know about that my buddy has got one and the 1000 may be better for some situations but picture quality 5d is superior
Did i make a mistake buying the sony xr520ve?
This camara is what i need for my films!!!!!
thats a pretty gnarly camera :)
how much did that cost?
@ArmyOfGamerZ WHERE??????
My friend have this cam and its so awsome.
how much is the memory card attatchment to record video???
Can I use it to stream video live wireless to a beamer?
yeah, but minidv tapes aren't film, they're magnetized ribbons. Plus not everyone in the industry uses film. For example in Avatat they used 2 sony hdcp1, which are completely digital. And you know RED? That shit doesn't uses tapes or film, it uses red cards.
@101seve It records to mini DV tapes.
Im still a little confused about the memory stick slot. a regular ms pro duo card is NOT capable of recording videos?
If anyone could, would you please elaborate (:
is it standard 16:9 ratio?
@Eddieliebe Local camera shop in December 2009.
my new computer dosent have the wirefire how i can tranfer via sub i allredy check on video store but i cant find a cable that goes from my camera to sub. help.
isnt sd card more convenient?
Does g stand for gangster cause thats a gangster lense

@MartiSomozaa Oh I heard from a video that theirs came with Sony Vegas.
Do you sell it ? ;D
@TheCallofDutyHelper yeah i understand and im not trying to hate on the fx1000 at all and i even said the1000 is better in different situations. because of its pro features. but the 5d shoots a little crisper video. and has a much better low light sensor. probably the better of most prosumer camcorders... why i have no idea.
