PMW-500 XDCAM HD camcorder review, with footage. 

How cameras over the last 5 years have changed !

Excellent presentation!

Hope to see a review on the PXW-X500

Wow ! You are able to service DSR570 WS and others ? Excellent.. I'm just good at taking them apart.. : )

there no reasons now, the Canon C300 is what you are looking for. Only 10K, BBC approved and it takes 4K photo lenses which are much cheaper and future proof! Get your self this Sony camera and pay top money for a decent lens. The look of the C300 is taking over and you won't bake the bank. Cheerio!

I know this an old video but how do you transfer files to computer from xdcam ? Looking at and old pdw 330

Question: how to active Slow & Quick Motion on Sony PMW 500 ??? coz i cant activate it

I tried to download my PMW 200 on my Imac. no luck. Any suggestions??

Hey Mate is it possible to accomplish these wonderful clean images with a more affordable possibly reliable camera?

Sheldon in old age.

What is the biggest problems with buying these CCD cameras used. Do the blue laser drives die? Thanks.

yah.... i got some information about PMW'S thanks, Is there is detailed information like "menu function" of PMW-500 with samples

trying to connect my monitor thro HDMI to my camera Sony pmw 500 on the mini HDMI can you recommend a cable

Hi Alex, would you tell me just about the operation of the menu thank you.

I stil prefer my 700 Butt as he says this is verrrrry good hyrid between the 350 and the 700 and its great to have 4 separate audio controls Ive added PMW 500 to my three PMW 700s'

Hello Alister! ! Recently watched and extremely enjoyed your video tutorial! I just got a Sony XDCAM and discovered that I can put my SXS to SD card adapter directly into my card reader on my computer, transfer the files to my capture drive, the files show up as a folder called BRAV! Inside this fold is another folder called CLR! Inside this folder are lots of Sub folders containg the actual video files! I have to open each folder individually, view it with my Windows Media Player then Rename and Save to an Internal SSD Capture Drive location! Then when I go into Adobe I go into Media Browser, locate the Videos in the SSD Capture Drive then Media Exporter automaticaly Exports them and then the files finally pop-up into thumbnails! This is too many extra steps and very time consuming!I What is the most effective way to import XDCAM footage into Adobe Premiere without having to go through ao many steps? What are your thoughts?

yep I agree and now 4 months on I do understand the advanteges of these camcorders over dslrs for some things but others the dslr will win . tbh if you have the money I would have both a camcorder and dslr which im planning on doing soon ....but yep the c300 is amazing but still out of my budget aha

Without meaning to sound foolish, im new to this higher level of camera, you mentioned monochrome viewfinders - what use is there for monochrome viewfinders? surely colour is better?

Все хорошо в этой камера, кроме отсутствия второго выхода в HD режиме

i have pmw 500 her format is fat but i cant import the clips in the final cat pro 7 like pmw200

the image video for this camera is 4;3 not 16:9

hi How to reset camra xd cam ex 350 please

Where can i Get this?

how much did that cost

So it looks like CCD sensors are better, why Sony uses CMOS sensor on other cameras?

How do you afford a camera like this living on a council estate?

@ACIDMetall Землячок, ты сам понял, что сказал? FS-100 + 5d Mark II и PMW-500 это как сравнивать ан-2 (кукурузник) и F-16 (многоцелевой истребитель), совершенно иной уровень.

tôi ước j đc sở hữu nó

lol

@claydough210 $20,000+

All that expensive camera equipment and he can't afford an iron! Check out that creased shirt!!

well I suppose there's nothing wrong with low budget ?? because they seem to be getting better results ahaha and btw this is a crap broadcast camera , if you were to shoot a music video on this you would be silly and that music video would be low budget ....

so inconvenient and expensive compare to the Canon C300!

I know its not about what you look but you have to IRON your shirts!1

How the fug does somebody living on a council estate afford all this gear I wonder???

You may be a cameraman but you're no DP! Why would you shoot in the dark for heaven's sake?

I DO NOT GET IT !!!! why spend thousands and thousands on somee camera when really the image may bee sharp yes but its sooo dull and boring and old fashioned seriously dslrs really are the way forwards and yes i do understand he advanteges of a pro hd camcorder for television and dslrs arent really ready for televisions yet ( although they do use them for adverts now )as today i worked along side a pro media team today but yeh i just want a real reason as to why they ARE better and so much money

Guess you're not a writer either. "Independ-a-nt" isn't in my dictionary only independent!
