Shoots great in low lighting and all conditions. -
I love my Panasonic DVX100's, wouldnt part with them for anythingComment

I don't know how much it is, but Canon just came out with the XL-H1, it's the High Def version of the XL-2.Comment

Sony VX2100 is the best video camera for porn.
(unless you are looking for an HD model)
It has an awesome 1 lux rating...

I just got back from the local electronics store and the FX1 seems a lot more for the extra couple thousand bucks. Who here shoots with the FX1, I would be interested in checking out some quick clips.Comment

If you want to just turn your camera on and point it at people without having to do any thinking then get the Sony VX2100 or the FX1.
If you want to learn how to actually shoot video get the DVX.Comment

Anyone know any sites that shoot with the FX1? I think this one is good for meComment
-
That camera isnt so great , if your going to really make the leap go with the panny hvx or the 3 chip jvc hd. Those are the only two I ve seen footage from that actually blew me away. Also remember if the footage is hot it doesnt matter what you shoot it on.Originally posted by mkxComment

Where can i see footage examples from these cameras?Comment

found this for skateboarding, huge difference, would be interested in seeing a clip for porn before buying it

So you think the FX1 is not worth paying the extra $700 for? Is there away to shoot the FX1 in the same mode as the 2100?Comment

well , well well.
First off there are different cameras for different people. i think that is what Greg is really trying to say.
Sony makes a good camera...so say you are in porn valley and say you are male talent with zero camera skills or understanding about anything to do with photography or you shoot reality style porn and want to attain a certain look...then you should use a vx2100.
Say you are a program owner or dvd seller and want to use the words "HD" in your selling material yet have no clue what HD is then you would get your shooters to use a FX-1.
If you were a working camera man , you would probably use the Canon cameras as they take a little bit of skill and have a lot of versability and are very demanding when it comes to a camera whether it is SD or HD.
and last but not least if you have a great eye for style, look and quality and the titles "HD, HDV" or any other sort of BS label matters to you, you would get a panasonic.
Any questions?ICQ 228211529Comment

Thanks Bman, that clears my mind a bit. I don't mind paying the extra cash for the FX1 over the VX2100. I guess my main question is if the FX1 can do the same job as the VX2100 if HD is set off or the video is edited with less frames / quality, etc. If so, may as well go HD and not stress over it.Comment

You will see people post examples of HD shot content on the internet but it is encoded at a very high bit rate and if you shoot on a SD camera in wide mode it will look better then the HD for the internet as it is only encoded once. However on a widescreen tv the HDV does look better then the Sony SD.However remember this one thing the FX-1 is not true HD and there still is not a HD Standard yet. We will have to wait til Sept and wait for the major studios and HD-DVD/BlueRay makers to make a push on what is going to be dominant. By then we will have to wait another year until the "HD-DVD"s are really selling in stores and in rental shops, by then there will be new HD Standard cameras out and everything will be obsolete. So just remember what you comfortability is with cameras.Last edited by Bman; 02-15-2006, 09:51 PM.ICQ 228211529Comment
