May I know what is the recommended tripod for this camera. I just bought one but I have also looked into buying one of the Sony’s low range tripod such as VCT-50AV/80AV. However, there is no LANC connection can be used with this Tripod. So, any of you got any suggestion for cheap and reliable tripod?

these are a great camera except,,,,,,, when they get dust/particles inside the supposedly sealed lens unit. it isn’t even foreign matter it is something that flaked off from inside the camera.
what a joke,, they try and get out of not covering this on warranty,, not even 7 months old.. in perfect condition,, they say $2000aud for fix.

The FX1E is still the best value for money. Its Features are sufficient for good quality productions with careful editing. Its controls are very fluid to use. Its a nicer machine that the FX7 to use.

Hi,

Glad to visit your blog. This is an open question and also hoping you may have a personal insight on this. I have a sony hdr fx1 which I have used for a couple of months. Recently I ran into a friend who suggested that I needed to calibrate the camera. Do sony hdr fx1s need that?

You may reply directly to my box. obiij@yahoo.com Thank you.

Hi,

I was hoping you could steer me to some information and contacts concerning adapting prime lenses (Nikon) for use on the HDR-FX1 camcorder. Are there converters, adapters for this application?

Thanks

My boyfriend’s daydreaming about this one. Since we’re based in Europe though we’re evaluating Sony Z1 because it’s both PAL/NTSC. Are you writing a review on the Z1?
