Mr. Romance

Looks so cute:)

congrats, nice buy

That is one sweet camera. I have had my eye on that baby myself. :)

I am sorry to tell you but you have been ripped off .. This is the worse HDV camera from Sony with AWFUL results shooting without good light.
If you have an option to exchange it for this one do it right now

HDR-FX1 HDV

One of our studio got this cam for the test and it so lame product, I checked it myself, we end up using it as webcam from live studio :)

Ha! Very small :)

Yeah, take the HC1 back or whatever sony calls this cam) an get the FX1 or the Canon cam that is due out next month.

Not a bad camera.

good luck getting your rebate out of Sony.

$0.02

I like your camera!

that thing's a monster.

The guys are right...its a dog


exchange it while you can

Get an FX1 or the panny dhv200

Looks great, man! Congrats! :)

I don't own such stuff but I hope it works great for you. Congrats. :)

That is a pimpin cam

Good for shooting indie films. That's a cool and real 'small' cam you got there :)

damn thats one sexy camera

I bought that cam a couple of months back. I love it. I think if the price is right for you, grab it. If the biggest complaint is HD looks like ass in low light, my question is what kinda producer shoots where the lighting sucks?!?! LOL Get in the game! Buy lights. Become a PRO!

Although, I must say, that's a bit expensive... I paid $3k Canadian and although I didn't get a lens, I saw a bunch of other deals with a lens and more for around $2500 on that thing called the Internet.

I hope you are kidding lol You cant name this cam PRO :1orglaugh
The only advantage of this cam is the size but hey look at this microphone its double size of the cam :1orglaugh I was barking 2 weeks on the guy who bought it for me :) This cam should cost 1k usd and be an amateur cam for a family travel. But it designed well to trick people to buy it. The price difference with FX1 is about 1k, you cant imagine the difference in results.

I have a slightly used (about 50 hours) HVR-Z1U for sale if you're interested hit me up on ICQ 112 020 756

Buy the cam and I'll throw in about 30 new tapes and a used lighting kit.

Here's an auction that just finished for the same cam, I'd rather not deal with ebay
