The Sony HDR-FX1000 Handycam is the highly-anticipated successor to the acclaimed HDR-FX1. The camera improves upon its predecessor in a variety of areas, including overall performance and range of features. CinemaTone technology enhances both gamma and color, providing exceptional images that exhibit a beautiful film-like aesthetic. At the heart of the camcorder are three 1/3" ClearVid CMOS Exmor sensors, which capture detailed imagery even in extreme low-light! Combined with a professional wide-angle lens and a super-high resolution LCD screen, the HDR-FX1000 is ideal for both the enthusiast and seasoned professional.
- High Definition on MiniDV Tapes with HDV
- The HDV format, used in the HVR-FX1000 allows high definition recording on standard MiniDV tapes. Experience "Window-to-the-world" clarity using the very popular MPEG-2 compression technique responsible for many forms of media used today, including DVDs and high-definition satellite television. The camera can also switch back to normal MiniDV mode when necessary.
- Watch Your CinemaTone
- The HDR-FX1000 features CinemaToneTM technology, which comes in two flavors. CinemaTone GammaTM crushes blacks while keeping the mids and highlights detailed, while CinemaTone ColorTM deepens color reproduction for richer hues. Combine the two and footage becomes incredibly film-like. CinemaTone Gamma curves can be accessed by the touch of a button.
- G-orgeous G-Series Lens
- The HDR-FX1000 makes full use of a low dispersion glass 29.5-590mm G-Lens with a 20x optical zoom and 3 built-in ND filters. The lens comes equipped with a manual focus, iris and zoom, making it the first camera in its class to feature a fully professional lens! Bravo. The lens has a digital extender that increases magnification by 1.5x, making the lens achieve up to 30x digital zoom levels.
- ClearVID 3CMOS Technology
- Sony's ClearVID sensors are positioned at a 45° angle. Since each pixel is positioned in this manner, the result is far clearer diagonal lines. Images will appear crisper, without the apparent "jaggies" that often plague video signals. Enhanced Image Processing (EIP) is responsible for processing large amounts of pixel color information, recording 4:2:2 chroma before being thrown to 4:2:0 HDV tape.
- Exmor Inside
- Low-light situations can sometimes be difficult for cameras of this size due to their relatively small sensors. The result can often be additional noise or image degradation, sometimes sending otherwise usable footage to the proverbial "digital cutting room floor". By incorporating Exmor technology, Sony has once again raised the bar for handheld cameras at this price-point, reducing the lux rating from 3 to 1.5! The HDR-FX1000's ultra-sensitive 1/3" CMOS Exmor sensors take advantage of technology originally developed for their flagship XDCAM EX camera, the PMW-EX1, delivering an amazing signal-to-noise ratio.
- 24p Capability
- In 24p mode, images from the CMOS can be 2:3 pulldown-converted and recorded onto tape in the standard 60i HDV format. The tape can then be played back or edited using an ordinary HDV system. True 24p editing can be achieved by uploading 2:3 pulldown-converted images via an i.LINK FireWire interface to a compatible non-linear editing system. The resultant images resemble the visual motion of film! The camera can also shoot in both standard 60i for richer temporal motion, as well as 30p, which is great for lifting stills.
- High Resolution LCD
- When shooting HD footage, standard LCD screens can be very deceiving; what looked perfect amidst a full-day video shoot can sometimes prove very soft or out of focus while in post-production. This is a direct result of a simple fact: most camera-mounted LCDs cannot resolve images in the same way they are being recorded. The HDR-FX1000 comes equipped with 1-MegaPixel LCD screen, making it 4x as clear as the LCD on the HDR-FX1, eliminating this oft-pesky phenomenon. Record with confidence knowing that what you see is what you will get.
- Extended Dynamic Range
- The camera's 30% extension in dynamic range translates into more detail in both highlights and shadows. Increase dynamic range can be very useful when color correcting during post production.
- x.v. Color Technology
- x.v. Color technology built into the HDR-FX1000 means the cameras sees nearly twice as many colors than conventional prosumer-level cameras. The camera provides colors that are more accurate and vivid in gamut.
- Minus Auto Gain Control
- When shooting in extremely bright-lit areas, the HDR-FX1000 gain control can be knocked even down to reduce noise even further.
- HDMI Output
- Many consumer products are adopting High Definition Media Interface (HDMI) connections for transmitting uncompressed digital HD video signals. Sony has upped the ante by incorporating this into the already extensive array of video output choices on the HVR-FX1000. Connect the camera to any HDTV via this interface and view all your footage the way it was meant to be seen: purely digital!
- Optical SteadyShot
- Sony has incorporated the sophisticated Super SteadyShot® optical stabilization system on the HDR-FX1000. This technology helps users achieve glass-smooth shots even when conditions are less than forgiving.
- Advanced Zebras and Histogram
- The HDR-FX1000 comes equipped with a histogram and zebra feature. The histogram gives users a visual/numerical reference for making sure the camera is properly color corrected. The Zebra feature highlights over-exposed areas of the frame, giving the operator more control over dynamic range.
- Focus Assist
- Users will be delighted by the HDR-FX1000's focus assist feature; peaking focus assist provides a simple way to ensure images are in perfect tack-sharp clarity. The process highlights high-contrast areas that represent sharp lines making focus operation incredibly quick and easy.
- Lightweight Frame
- The HDR-FX1000 has shaved off a few pounds in comparison to the FX1. This Not only will users be able to take this camera almost anywhere, it also produces far less arm strain, resulting in longer shoots.
- Enhanced Button Control
- The camera allows users to assign important operations to a series of buttons for quick retrieval. The buttons can be selected to do a variety of tasks which can be changed whenever necessary; operations include Zebra levels, AE Shift, and record review. Additionally, the camera has an extra record and zoom control on its handle.
- Expanded ND Filter Set
- The HDR-FX1000 features new and improved neutral density filters, which can be very useful while shooting in brightly lit environments.
- Color Bars
- The color bar button provides reference for quick calibration on location or in the studio.
- Shot Transitions In Camera
- Who needs to edit? Make quick, seamless transitions right inside the camera with Sony's Shot Transition control which includes a built-in fader for scene transitions.

I had the FX1 for years and upgraded to this one for a few of the key features. The low light is a big help. The screen is a decent amount smaller but is really nice. The peaking and histogram is a huge help! The new iris ring is amazing, helping with exposure on the fly. Seems to be about the same size and weight as the FX1. I have seen some footage and it looks amazing, I know I was always happy with my FX1 footage, too. I go to NYU for film school so I've used all other competing cameras including EX1, HVX, XL-H1 and so on and while I know the others have features that the FX1000 doesn't have but the camera is so solid and technology is at the point where it doesn't make that big of a difference. I have seen a lot of footage from all the other cameras and while it looks great, so does the FX1000. Even when I show footage in class, classmates are impressed and ask what I shot it on. Plus the HDV workflow is amazing and extremely simple and has very few issues. Overall, it's a great camera, it has great features, an easy layout and is a steal at [$]

I am a long time user of the PD 150 & 170. Today was my second wedding with the 1000. You have read the "good" reviews so now I have what I consider the problem areas.(1) The adjustment wheel for the menu is probably worse that you have read.(2) Something is weird with the view finder. It is like it has a smudge in the center but looks clearer at the bottom of the screen.(3) No battery gauge to show you the progress of the battery as it is charged.(4) On occasion the auto focus in low light will become out of focus and then will take like forever to correct itself.(5) When using a Sony light you must remove the battery before you can open the LCD viewer.(6) Be prepared for grainy video in low light situations. If I could do this all over again, I would wait for Sony to fix some of these problems on the next model.

Comments about Sony HDR-FX1000 Handycam HDV Camcorder:
Great right out of the box. Have been doing event video since 1976 and have owned over 100 cameras and camcorders. Have done over 3000 events. This is one of the best I have used. Auto color was very good especially since I shoot in combinations of florescent, tungsten and daylight all on at the same time. Extremely good under low light, a little more noise than the FX1 when gain maxed out at 1/60 sec shutter but the subject material was more visible.
I noticed the partial frame distortion from flashes. The unit is more front heavy than the FX1 and forget hand holding the unit for more than ten minutes. I use a mono pod or tripod for most of my shooting.
The manual iris takes a while getting used to. Its easy to grab the focus or zoom ring when in a run and gun situation. All three controls are mounted on the lense.
Like the display readout on the flipout viewfinder
But wish it was as big as the viewfinder on the FX1. More detail shows but for us older folks bigger is better.
Be careful to mount any light on the unit before opening the flip out viewfinder. The viewfinder is very close to the mounting shoe. The Sima LED lights B&H sells mount very well and allows opening and closing the viewfinder while the light is mounted. Buy the Bp970 battery because the supplied battery is inadequate for long shoots.
Watch those Zebra markings, the CCD on the FX1 seems to be more forgiving than the CMOS pickups on the FX1000. A liitle more blowout on the FX1000 than on the FX1 when zebra stripes appear on a face or white material.
There is a mini audio input for mounting an external wireless mike. It worked fine for me.
I also did a multi backup of a religous service by using an optional svhs/audio cable to a dvd burner and a firewire out to a mini DV camcorder.
All adapters and cabling supplied by B&H.

Comments about Sony HDR-FX1000 Handycam HDV Camcorder:
Bought this camera in March I shoot primarily sports video for ABC/Fox affiliates regionally and have not had to use in night time settings until this past week. Had a major problem. In manual iris setting adjustments made when zoomed out did not hold when zooming back in on subjects. After nearly 2 hours and multiple calls to Sony I was told that is the way it is maufactured. Iris is not truly MANUAL as you would assume as it will not remain fixed in a lower light setting. Very frustrating as the supposed low light benefits of this camera I had read about now seem untrue. Also sound with mini plug is quite poor.

Comments about Sony HDR-FX1000 Handycam HDV Camcorder:
The only complaints I have ever heard about this camera deal with the menu operation and the low light video quality. I am telling you that any of those complaints seem to be false. To me, the menu is easier to operate than my touch screen HC9, and if you follow the instructions for low light shooting (leaving gain, iris, and exposure on auto) it seems that the camera captures more light than my naked eye. Overall, this camera is awesome!

Comments about Sony HDR-FX1000 Handycam HDV Camcorder:
Let me first off tell you a little back story. I'm a college student heading into the professional field of video/audio production and I originally had a Canon GL2 a few years ago, which was a good starting point for me. However I decided to upgrade my equipment and looked into this camera. Long story short, I bought it and never looked back afterwards.
First off, let me say a few things I noticed that weren't spectacular. Every camera has a few things that you don't write home about, but let me just mention them and get them out of the way. The built-in microphone doesn't really have an excellent range and sound to it, but like all built-in camera mics it's trying to pick up everything in the room so I'd recommend investing in an external microphone like a Rode VideoMic, which conveniently slides onto the hot shoe mount and plugs into the mic input jack on the handle of the camera. Secondly, I found the depth of field a little deep for my tastes. Close-ups and the manual focus ring allows for a little play, but the "bokeh effect" isn't as prominent as I'd like. Good, I'm glad we got that out of the way.
Now onto business. What I enjoyed most about this camera is the picture. Excellent HD footage, and the image always comes out clear and crisp! Despite my fear in investing in another MiniDV camera, this camera has blown me away with it's performance. The professional features like being able to adjust the frame rate, shutter speed, focus, iris, neutral density filters, have proven to be just what I was looking for when I wanted a professional camera with a smaller price tag than other equivalent cameras. Even the matte box that comes with the camera is nifty -- with the ability to slide off and close to shelter the camera's lens from dust and dirt.
If you're looking for a camera that out-performs every other camera in its price range and shoots a beautiful crisp picture then the Sony HDR-FX1000 is the camera for you.

Comments about Sony HDR-FX1000 Handycam HDV Camcorder:
I do mainly music video's and concerts and the FX1000
has replaced my VX2000. I had read that the FX1000 was weak in low light but from what I experienced this weekend I would say it can't get much better. I expected to put a lot of work into the edit and I was wrong. The image was clear and sharp. I am happy with everything so far and believe it's worth every penny.

Comments about Sony HDR-FX1000 Handycam HDV Camcorder:
to start off, i am in no way a pro videographer. i was previously using gopro cameras but i just wanted something that created really pro looking footage. the fx-1000 has astounding picture quality, is easy to use (even for a beginner) and has a ton of options. the main reason i picked this camera is because it filmed in 24 and 30p as well as 60i, it has smooth slow motion (which is amazing and better quality than the fx-7) and because of the placement of the lcd monitor. ok i know that sounds dumb, but it makes a big difference. by putting it where it is, the tape deck is moved to the left and the the right side is less bulky. trust me, its worth it.
this is overall a great camera, and with a little use and exploration, anyone can learn to use it. if you are considering the fx-1, the fx-7, the fx-1000, or the canon xh-a1s, GO FOR THIS CAMERA. i have done enough research to be able to support this decision. enjoy

I do stage productions and having a spot light control easily accessible like the FX1 or PD 170 would have been nice. Spot Light can only be set within the menu, and therefore not nearly as convenient. But it takes great HD video with normal lighting.

Just unbelievable!!! I never see an mistake like that before! The weight is a problem aswell, the cam recorder + batterie + light + sound transmiter, it start to be heavy for an handycam... They have to clear that point cuz its not good when u shooting a long scene.
BUT! its great with an stabilizer like steadycam or glidecam!

Comments about Sony HDR-FX1000 Handycam HDV Camcorder:
I previously purchased the Sony HDR-FX1 a couple of years ago and when it was time to purchase a second camera to add to my growing video company, I bought the HDR-FX1000 since it was advertised as a better version of the FX1. The very first thing I shot with this camera was an indoor awards ceremony where the lights in the auditorium were pretty dim. I shot this event with both cameras. Because the FX1000 has a lower lux rating I expected this camera to be able to give better and brighter images in the low light conditions. In fact, the footage from the FX1 looked MUCH better. While the FX1000 image was brighter, this increase in brightness came with a tremendous increase in the amount of "grain" in the image. The FX1 image was a slight bit darker but the image was significantly cleaner. Given the trade off, I decided that the cleaner image in the long run was more important for me and returned the FX1000 for another FX1.

Comments about Sony HDR-FX1000 Handycam HDV Camcorder:
I use this camera to shoot events, outdoor wildlife, skiing, fishing, etc.. Recently did a indoor concert in low light and the result was excellent. I could not get audio off the house board but was amazed at the sound captured by the camera. (Take it out of auto and adjust for the hall) I also have a sony fx7 that I use when I want a two camera shoot. The FX1000 low light is far superior to the FX7 and mixing the footage is disappointing. I take my stills directly from the video and have been very satisfied with the result.

Comments about Sony HDR-FX1000 Handycam HDV Camcorder:
This is my second FX1000. I shoot weddings, events and I am an independent film maker. I was using a Sony VX2000 for years then I purchased my first FX1000 about 15 months and loved it. The picture quality is excellent, you can definetly tell the difference between the pictures shot on the VX2000 and the FX1000 which is why I purchased a second camera. I do a lot of two camera shoots and I was getting tired of trying to match the two cameras. There are a lot of manual settings most people will never use or even know the camera has ( I just discovered a few more last week). The low light filming is not as good as the VX2000 thats my only complaint.
XLR inputs would be nice also but to get around that you just buy an adapter.

I been doing weddings for a couple of years now and I upgraded to this beauty and the image is outstanding the low light condition its handle very well by this camera I love it. I have read that the built in audio is not so good so I didn't even risk it or thought about it twice and bought a shotgun Mic and oh man its amazing the difference between my old camera
The only thing I don't like about it its that you have to record real time the HDVs into the computer which is time consuming but I guess I can handle it for now
Other than that the camera is amazing ^_^
