DSE 5 #1 September 10, 2006 The new Sony FX 7 was announced at IBC yesterday in case you haven't heard. It's a 3CMOS chip camcorder, with some sweet features. Slightly smaller than the FX1, slightly larger than the HC1, with a full 1920 x 1080 resolution imager, 4:2:2 internal image processing at 14 bits, and has HDMI output among other things. It's not shipping yet, and due to NDA, can't say more than what's in the press release. However, it was used at the Jay Stokes 600 Jumps event, and performed wonderfully. It's a tad large for some sorts of aerial photography, but perfect for those that need high quality images. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MagicLou 0 #2 September 10, 2006 Doug, I noticed that the FX7 also uses MiniDV tape. I have absolutely no experience with HDVC cameras, so, my question is what is the record time on a standard 60 min MiniDV Tape? Does the recording format change the recording time? Thanks, LouLou ___________________________________ . . . now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb - Dark Helmet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #3 September 11, 2006 HDV offers the same recording length of time. it's the same bitrate as DV, only is a different file format. DV=13GB per hour, HDV is approx 13GB per hour in the 1080 format. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
