hdr fx1 info

so what is the hdr fx1?

it shoots at greater than standard definition.
and costs around $3500 from bhphotovideo - around the same price as a standard definition vx2100.

it shoots up to 1440x1080 pixels, depending on how the specs are interpreted.

its not the first consumer grade camera to do this. jvc had a camera first.
but the sony camera works much better than the jvc one.
The jvc camera had terrrible low light performance.

its shoots and records high definition ( hdv ) on standard mini-dv tapes using an mpeg2 encoded stream at around 25mbps - the same data rate as standard dv.
