Short clip made with Sony HDR-CX900 footage. 

+dadshome2 I hope so! Thanks dad!

You´re welcome, san.

Thank you! This camera is great! :)

"Believe" A Paranormal Experience I think it does very well, specially compared to my 7D. This is a low light video with the CX900. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-th01QOZhU8o.html

"Believe" A Paranormal Experience I does much better against my Canon 7D, which is an old camera. I shot a test video in Nagoya and the light was very poor. It was like 9 PM. Take a look! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-th01QOZhU8o.html

***** thanks for the response. i bought this cam a few months ago and I love it. I use it for shooting weddings. I only need to change cams when shooting a dark reception hall. in that case i pull out the dslr with a 1.4 lens. thanks :)

Finchspielberg I was passing by a pedestrian bridge, not to far of the traffic light. I didn't zoom much.

+Steve Ferneyhough Hey Steve! This camera has no option to adjust contrast, saturation and sharpness. It has focus peak (3 levels of intensity) and zebra (70% to 100+%), no histogram though.

Thanks for the info. I now have the Canon Vixia/Legria HF G30 which is very good.

+Steve Ferneyhough Not as gud as cx900 i'll tell u that. I have both and the cx900 blows away the hf g30 in image quality easily.

Sub Killer I'm not sure about stills, the video is way better though. Shoot stills with the CX900 is a pain in the ass. lol

***** but hes shooting the stills of the traffic light with ease

@@LingBaneHydra how?

@@alpzepta How what? lol

@@LingBaneHydra is shooting CX900 harder than shooting with an iPhone? I’m actually think of getting one at eBay auction.

I think Phones are not so good in general. They have tons of compression and use poor codecs. However, if you want a phone with good (sharp) video record, you could try the Galaxy S5 or any 4K video phone.

I have at the moment nokia 1020 best camera phone, s5 or other cant make sharper video then 1020.I was asking what is the best camcorder Sony HDR-CX900? or you can suggest some other?

+Janissary m It depends on how much you can spend and what you going to shoot. The CX900 is a great bang for buck camera.

AwakenedFromSleep I'm not a specialist in color correction, but don't expect 14 stops of dynamic range. It's a "small sensor" consumer video camera.

Sale Sorge Camcorders, none that I know of. Moreover, you can try a Panasonic GH4 (mirrorless) or a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera, both with Metabones Speed Booster.

***** It's really nice for a video camera. I have an AX100 but I edit the footage together with a full frame DSLR. I like to have pretty extreme shallow depth of field. However, the AX100 is always used for the panning shots, deep depth of field shots showing the landscapes, etc. It pairs very nicely with a full frame camera. Even though it doesn't have picture profiles the codec is nice so I can color grade it together with the full frame. A person watching can't really tell which is which. They can if I put it on 4k though, my DSLR is 1080p so I've had to start using the AX100 like this HDR-CX900. But I'm glad the 4k is there for when I go 4k on the DSLR.

nagol5178 Nice combination, however, It's easy to distinguish between shots. The DSLRs are usually soft with more dynamic range. The CX900 is much more sharper. I like to mix footage too!

It is not easy to distinguish the shots when you're a colorist. You will not see that the CX900 is sharper because any editor like me will use a Gaussian Blur or Fast blur slightly, just enough to look just like the other camera. With personal videos I don't always match them up perfectly because its time consuming, however on projects that I care about or got paid for, I can make it flow between shots without anyone noticing. I would even argue, that you would pick out the AX100 as being the shot that appears to have more dynamic range in my videos. Because any high dynamic range scene, is usually not shot with my DSLR. The only way to tell, if it is color graded and edited properly is the shallow depth of field. The Sony is more difficult to edit than the DSLR. But that is because the AX100 doesn't have picture profiles, one has to take the default profile and change it and can't shoot flat. It also is harder to get the green channel to match the DSLR. I bet you've seen plenty of movies where they used Super 35mm pro cameras and switch the angle to a Go Pro and you didn't know it was a Go Pro. I've gotten it to match at 4k down sized to 1080p before. But it was too difficult and I had to blur it to much so I stopped doing that. The Sony camera has much more aliasing and moire than the DSLR, that is more noticeable in 4k as well. However, people think DSLR's are horrible at alias and moire, when they are not anywhere near as bad as most video cameras. I really hope on the next Ax100 they make it not as bad. It's already got a lot of alias and moire on patterns, but then they add a ton of in camera sharpness which makes it worse.

Oh, really? If I recall I could delete videos on camera. Is your card protected? Sometimes when you insert the card on camera it locks itself by touching the card lock mechanism to the edge of the card slot. Make sure that your firmware is up to date too. Hope it helped!

***** Thanks , but no cigar . I think I'm just going to keep it and not get the new sony ax33 4k camera , something tells me this camera is still better....

I have the same problem with mine. I reformatted, but the images show up though the camera tells me there are ' no images '.

+Oktane It records at 24, 30 and 60 fps @ 50Mbps

Hey George! I didn't use the HXR NX30E, what I know I got from the Sony website. Judging by the specs, the CX-900 has a much superior image quality. The NX30E uses an old and very small sensor (1/2.88) whereas the CX900 uses a 1" sensor. Usually, bigger sensor means more dynamic range and less depth of field. The CX900 uses a much "strong" codec, the XAVC-S, recording at 50 Mbps while the NX30E can only record at 28 Mbps with the AVCHD. The stabilization on the NX30E is probably better than the CX900. If you like good audio, you can buy something like a Rode Micpro os a Shure LensHopper VP83, which I did, and have a really nice audio. I totally recommend the CX900 specially if you like to manual adjust things and to make experiences in post. I hope it helped. :)

***** hello friend, i just bought this camera, but i don't know how to use the high speed recording mode, as it seems like it doesn't have any effect to slow down the video..and sometimes when shooting videos or pictures some green hue lines appear on the footage..even after when i watch it...and the higher the shutter speed the stronger these problems get... but i find they only appear in certain lighting conditions,especially when i am under ''white fluorescent light'' but even then... i dont think its normal or is it? i never had this problem with other cameras.. but i just went to the shop and exchanged it for another one, but still same problems.

Hello! To use the high speed mode (120fps 720p), you'll need to set the codec to XAVC S and to use this codec you'll need a SDXC card. The problem with the light can be avoid by lowering the shutter speed to mach the frequency of the light source. Avoid use shutter speeds faster than 1/60 for 30fps and 1/48 for 24fps. Hope it helps!

thank you for your comment. it is very helpfull
