When i make the move to tapeless i will move into the new Sony. Its pretty sick!! My buddy Craven Moorehead got one 2 months ago and it is the best low light performer ever to come out. It puts all the cameras in the dirt for working in low light situations. I think Jay Rock has the same one. It shoots to Sony flash cards.  |
I dont know about the A1 being the best in low light because I have only shot with it for HDV then moved to the HVX200 I could go on for days and tell you all the things I hate about these 2 cameras. But I guess having the Sony EX1 has made me a bit spoiled. The HVX200 was ok but went to shit in low light and if try shooting a bathroom scene where there is no room for lighting.... good luck. The A1 I had tons of things I hated about it the worst problem is that you can't check the focus by enlarging the viewfinder while shooting. You can only check it when you aren't rolling tape = LAME
For under $3500 I think its the best you will get though. Then again this camera came out 3 years ago.
