Re: Sony RX10 point-and-shoot camera
Hi Noa,
Did you get a chance to post that wedding edit you were working on that features RX10 footage? |

Re: Sony RX10 point-and-shoot camera
Well, the edit is finished but the bride was very specific about not posting anything on the internet, I asked to put a demo online but she refused so unfortunately I"m not putting anything online.

Re: Sony RX10 point-and-shoot camera
For those who have the camera, Hows the camera feel like when using handheld?
Does the fact that it's has such a small form factor and quite light, does it make it difficult to shoot steady footage handheld? How would it compared to a Z1 handheld? Reason I ask this specifically is I have Z1 but I don't like using it because it's tape based, the quality looks better/nicer on the RX10 then my Z1 as well. Would perhaps a Shoulder rig help? |

Re: Sony RX10 point-and-shoot camera
@ Matt -
I've shot with the much lighter HX series (100,200,300) with good results, so it's not that "foreign" to me... I like it handheld, I'll add a flash bracket to the left side to help turn it into a mini-fig rig type setup if needed. Or use a monopod as a waist pod, or it would mount to a multi rig or similar shoulder mount I've got... Image stabilization is fairly good in the camera, so like most smaller lighter cameras, it's a matter of getting comfortable shooting it and finding what type of additional physical stabilization works for you... Then again, it you take a stance using the viewfinder, that can work too! My take is that the smaller lighter format should be good for less fatigue, and I wobble more the more tired I get! @ Noa - While you can't post footage, I'd be interested on how you "felt" about both use under live fire, and about the resulting clips/image quality? I'm finding the camera to be very "comfortable", but somehow I end up shooting more stills! |

Re: Sony RX10 point-and-shoot camera
Dave, I've only played with the cam very briefly, but it is addicting. I have not downloaded my "play" footage yet but I feel confident it will look pretty much like it does on the LCD.
It's the photos, I just love shooting photos with this darned thing, don't know why. I love the viewfinder. I've never, ever liked a viewfinder before. I am a frustrated photographer, so I completely understand about shooting more stills. My first DSLR (years ago) was a Canon 40d with a 85mm F/1.2 and F/1.4 and I was mesmerized with the photo taking. One wedding in particular I made the photographer angry because I kept shooting stills. This camera seems to be as much fun, if not more because of the zoom. Really looking forward to playing with it more.

Re: Sony RX10 point-and-shoot camera
Yep, it's fun for stills and video is nice too... very addictive to shoot with... fun and addictive, not your typical camera!
Just get a nice little bag to stick the camera and a few accessories in, and you've got a great little "grab and go" kit for pretty much everything! I've added a circular polarizer, a diffuser for the pop up flash, a couple extra batteries and a folding flash bracket, plus stick an RX100M2 in just in case! Really not too many things you couldn't shoot out of that little bag! |
