Anyone live near Cincinnati, Ohio for comparison test(FX1 and HC1 or A1) at DVinfo.net

Jon Omiatek · January 17th, 2006, 12:10 PM

I have a FX1 and would like to do a side by side test of the HC1 or A1.

If you have one and a couple of hours to capture footage, please let me know.

Thanks,

Jon

I would love to see some detailed comparisons between the models. Someone begun doing a comparison between the HC1 and A1 at another forum, but he disappeared.

Someone please arrange a meeting. :)

Awesome, that would be great! I am going to buy a third hdv camera and wanted to know if the HC1 would work.

I received the HDR-FX1 today. This weekend I will do the comparison and post early next week. I probably go to the rain forest in Galveston shot the Parrot display and the Bat display for low light comparison.

Awesome Brian. Looking forward to those clips. :)

The footage on the attached link was shot on auto mode with both cams

The low light footage (bat cave) on the HVR-A1U was change at the end of the clip from full auto to manual to reduce gain.

My opinion the quality of the Hvr-A1U is almost equal to the HDR_FX1 In a well lit environment.

In low light the Fx-1 is the winner.
The A1 (auto mode) in the bat cave gain went to max. Producing grain in the image, I then set the gain to manual producing a better shot.

I WAS SURPRISED HOW GOOD THE A1 PREFORMED IN LOW LIGHT.

I shot a wedding last weekend with the A1U Everything turn out great even the low light reception footage. If I had to pick one of the cameras it would be the A1U Because of its lighter weight and size.
