Dragonfly HD, sony HX100V and canon close up lens 

Thanks. I think the dragonfly didn't escape because it was laying eggs and it was very persistent and not afraid as usual behavior. And I was moving very slowly towards him and being patient. He went away many times but still have returned in the same spot, and I was being patient over an hour at same place :)

@JeepRuby101 Good question. So, the video format Sony takes is .MTS at 1080p/ 60fps. This format cannot play on my big lcd TV, and I've covert it to .MKV at 720p which is not that different in quality to 1080p (after quite bit of comparing). Even the 1080p sqweeze the video processor, and sometimes there is freezes and audio clicks (on the TV played).

a fascinating movie! How come that the dragonfly didn't escape because you have been quite close to it.

@kiralikKAVALYE55 , as I mentioned above " the adapter name is "Canon 58mm 500D Close-up Lens". It is not mounted in front. I was holding it by hand, because I still haven't make an adapter for the HX100V." Look online for "Canon 58mm 500D Close-up Lens".

@hhong83 keep in mind that the macro adapter is not mounted in front, I hold it by hand, because there still no an adapter for this sony. The macro lens is "Canon 58mm 500D Close-up Lens". I bought it from B&H cpl years ago for my other camera.

@FlipFlapBattles , THe camera is Sony HX100V, but the adapter name is "Canon 58mm 500D Close-up Lens". It is not mounted in front. I was holding it by hand, because I still haven't make an adapter for the HX100V.

Of course is HX100V, but with adapter lens (in the description). I don't know about 200V but im sure it will have fixed bugs and added stuff. Image quality-pretty sure that will be the same. good luck.

@hhong83 I've used a macro adapter in front, and the video was shot at 1080p/60 then resized to 720p. no other settings. Maybe if you post your video I will try to look if you have issues with it.

Hi, You have a remarkable steady hand, I couldn't get away with this shot both parts freehanded. Grats! (Oops, Sorry, Grats- means, where I live "Congratulations". Where can you find such beautiful dragonflies, and how do you make the clip, without being stung by them? As I have heard, this will really hurt! The small hair at their feet is remarkable! Even the spots of the lychen (doesn't look liek moss to me, but I am no biologist) are great! As allways in any kind of macro, the range of field looks to be at least 5mm. Gives the pic a dreamy look that I like very much.

Hello mate, incredible macro , really amazing , i would love to have the link of the lens , if its possible send them on the message, really amazing video gratz!

@vatisa24 As I mentioned before in the comments, the macro lenses are "Canon 58mm 500D Close-up Lens".(google it) Look at B&H. It's available now.

@ivaaaaaan , i believe you`ve watched it at 720p HD, right? and Thanks. I have used a macro adapter in front of the lenses.

@krokodil191 "Canon 58mm 500D Close-up Lens" . check for the actual price at B&H photo. I bought it from them in 2007

@ivaaaaaan try it at 720p, there is big difference. The original was full HD at 1080p but I've resized it to 720p.

Hi, Thank you for your post Actually, I definitively buy HX100V ! :) Initial, I wanted to buy the Fuji HS-20, but there are serious problem with auto focus at higher zoom. But Sony HX-100, at 60 PROGRESSIVE frames/sec is the best. Thank you again !

what setting you use for the recording so sharp? i try full HD on my HX100v but when i plugged into the computer, the quality is worser than my ipod touch... Please help...

Obviously for me, its the sony, even though I've done research, comparing these 3 models

@romantashev nice.. where did you buy the macro adapter... if you can msg me the link, i would greatly appreciated :) thank for the respond

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!

Hey, can someone tell me how to get a micro picture like this vid. I try everything, but i can't find the micro setting.

I just bought this camera today. I'm amazed at the quality of it all. My question. Why didn't you film this in 1080p?

@vatisa24 P.S. But it is 58mm and you need special adapter for the Sony.

@romantashev thank you...video is just amazing! :)

adapter lens meanss??..., can we adopt new lenses to this camera?? Is there an option for this camera??

wow, i can't believe it is taken by a DC, the video is sharp Actually, i want to buy HX100V
