Re: Sony FDR-AX100
I created a new YouTube account and uploaded some early movies -- some back to 1986. Try this link and let me know if you find 8 movies.
Steve Mullen - YouTube If anyone knows a simpler link to "dvcpresents" please tell me. It seems Utube wants you to windup inside all their crap and not go directly to a Channel -- whatever that is. This is where I'll post -- as soon as I find/buy a Class 10 card. I didn't expect it to come so soon! Steve

Re: Sony FDR-AX100
It's a bit bigger than I expected, but very light.
Battery only charges in camera unless you buy an optional charger. I'm now charging. The manual is a joke. On page 41 through 46of the tiny tiny manual there is a list of dozens and dozens of menu items. But NOT ONE item has a single word of description or explanation. No DVD with .pdf or software! But, you do get a free copy of Vegas -- woo woo. So i'm going to switch from my usual Handbook type eBook to a Guide that I can finish faster. Will include Chapters on AVCHD/XAVC, editing UHD to HD (for Media Composer that can't yet export UHD), and uploading maximum UHD/HD quality to YouTube. I'm tempted to not bother with describing all the WiF functions. Does one really need to upload 720p MP4 files from your iPhone? Anything else that needs to be included?

Re: Sony FDR-AX100
Steve I assume you are on a Mac so Vegas may not be of much use to you. But it does edit and export XAVC and XAVC-S. I have both Vegas 12 and Edius Pro7 and normally use Edius for my video editing which is able to edit XAVC and XAVC-S but not export in these formats. Both will of course export in other formats at this image size too. Both will run realtime with XAVC but not XAVC-S on my i7 3770. Though all of my 4K editing is from my FDR-AX1 at 60P 150Mbps so editing 30P at 50Mbps may be different.
Battery life at 4K will be interesting to know as the FDR-AX1 will only run for just over an hour on a NP-F970 compared to close to 4 hours use on my NX5U !!! I expect that little V70 may not last too long and a V100 would be more useful for the FDR-AX100. Ron Evans |

UHD Video from Sony FDR-AX100
Here is a video I made using the AX100 for the first time. It was losslessly edited, and you can download the UHD video I uploaded to Vimeo and see the full resolution:
There are no cats, or aimless waving of the camera. And there is subject movement. The shots were in dim light and in outdoors contrasty light. There is some shaky camera in the first scenes due to gusts of wind. OIS was used, but not in Active mode. |

Re: Sony FDR-AX100
Noa, the little travel chargers BC TRV and BC TRX work very well charging my V series batteries and also the batteries for my cameras and AS30 Actioncam. The BC TRX also has a USB port for USB charging too. Not sure what batteries the RX10 uses.

Re: Sony FDR-AX100
The rx10 uses yet another formfactor battery, I get about 45 minutes out of a battery. Only 1 hour out of a NP-F970 on the FDR-AX1? Ouch.

My LG set plays back all the AX100 clips raw from either a USB drive or HDD. Some of the first gen models from Sony, Samsang, LG don't support 4K through USB so you'd have to check the manufacturer. So one can mosey on down to their favorite electronics boutique loaded with 4K content and view it till their hearts content. |

It's great fun keeping track of which chargers and batteries are which... The TRV charges FP, FH, and FV series, and there are several dual bay (VQH and VQV) that charge 'em in pairs... since the AX100 uses those, guess they will be kept "in inventory" - at least they can be reused if you own an SR/CX/PJ Handycam! The TRX doesn't charge handycam batteries, but DOES charge almost every Cybershot battery ever produced (except, wait for it.... the FW series used in the RX10!!). It covers the BX used in many of the current Sony cams, as well a G, N, D, T, R and K... but not the "V", just to clarify. There's yet another new one (BC-QM1) that charges V, H, P, W (RX10), and M series (but NOT F series, or any of the Cybershot line). I have this crazy hope that I can cut some of the chargers (and batteries!) out of the inventory, but they keep introducing cameras with a crazy assortment of "power sources"! I'm hoping to at least be able to reduce the size of the "stock", but just had to add those FW's for the RX10!! |
