Customer Review: GOOD CAMERA
Summary: 5 Stars
Update:
i'm not so good at reviews, but i'll try to mention the important things
So i used my camera to record two events, both in club settings in pretty low light, and outdoors at night and i am happy with the results.
I got a lot of shots outdoors under the street lights and the quality was so good. Indoors with regular lighting was also just as good. I filmed a DJ at the club and the only light was coming from his laptop and it was clear and nice. Strobe light didn't give me great shots but that's ok, if there's some kind of external light that was compatible with this i'd get it. the hdr-cx150 doesn't have a hot shoe or anything.
Walking around and filming was smooth as long as you're not bouncing up and down and swinging the camera everywhere. And it was small enough to put in my jacket pocket when i wasn't using it.
The sound recording was good too. Any filmed conversations were clear, and the loud music didn't so bad either.
The 60fps Smooth Slow Record, is really cool looking and good quality except if you're in a low light light area it gets pretty dark and would need some lightening up in a video editor or something. i used iMovie '09 and got decent results. Also, it's only limited to 12 seconds, but that's more than enough to get some cool shots.
Photos are ok, but not great. i have a NikonD90, so i dont really care about the picture mode. It's funny because i was trying to record films with my d90 and it sucked so bad because it was shaky and the sound recording was awful. The cx150 is better for filming (obviously) and the nikon is a thousand times better for pictures (and a lot more expensive). But i do like filming with the Nikon because of the lenses and controlling focus and whatever.
The menu wasn't too hard to figure out and you can customize what 6 menu selections you want to see in the quick mode for both recording and playback. i chose smooth slow mo for one of my choices.
The built in 16 gigs of memory was enough for me to film all the important parts of my night with lots of space left over. Filming HDFX and 1080p (The highest quality) gives you about 90 something minutes. That didn't seem like a lot of time at first, but after editing i only used about 4 minutes for every half an hour i filmed.
---------
I just bought this from amazon (at a good price) and so far so good. i haven't really had a chance to make any good videos but from so far the quality seems good. good stabilization and low light. check youtube for sample videos, that's what sold me on this camera.
