Hey Michael it was a misprint on the B&H site they corrected it to $3,199. I was to excited wen I got the email from them this morning thinking $1,999 I ma buy a couple. Then they corrected it and I might still get 1. Who knows. It looks like quite a camera, I wonder when Canon will upgrade their XHA1, time will tell.

Oh rats. Well hopefully it will still come down in price, when it finally goes on sale.

Sony HDR-FX1000 pre-order
It is available for pre-order at B&H starting today. $3199, very close to a XH-A1.

I don't see many molds broken here

So it'll be left to companies like Red , and maybe Nikon and Olympus to give us the tools of the future. I am however more interested in the cf/firewire recorder . |

The US press release for the FX1000 and Z5U. It includes retail prices for the Z5 and the optional MRC1.

Rolling Shutter NO PROB on the Z7U
Quote:
So the Z7U isn't the rolling shutter problem camera, that appears to be exclusive to the EX series of CMOS :o) Oh and those drulling over the MRU1 . . it is everything that it appears to be AND MORE. We actually start digitizing our other two cameras (non Sony) footage "on location" with the spare Z7U at the reception through the firewire and playing back while recording with the MRU and walk in with digitized media :o) |

if only the fx1000 came with XLR inputs at that price or the Z5U had a real servo lens, then i'd really cringe to want one of them.

if you cruise the EX board, seems the new firmware has resolved some of the rolling
shutter issues with the EX. |

I'll bet the reason for this is due to their Z-series camcorders using a form of pixel offset (the ClearVid chips), which their EX series don't have.

Anyone know if the "microphone" input is mini jack or xlr on the fx1000? How about the z5u?

The mic inputs are Stereo Mini on the FX1000 and XLR on the Z5.
Speaking of the Z5, the North American model Z5U has finally made it onto the official Sony site: http://pro.sony.com/bbsc/ssr/product-HVRZ5U/ |
