Sony has finally released the replacement to the ever popular HDR-FX1.  The new Sony HDR-FX1000 has a lot of features that were previously only available on the best of professional camcorders.  The big enhancement on the new model is the ability to record both 24p and 30p progressive.  The low light ability has also been improved down to a 1.5 lux rating.  The new 3.2″ LCD monitor has a 921K pixel screen so the recordings look more accurate to the amazing HD capabilities of the camera.

Previous models of the Sony HD camcorders were not nearly as well balanced as this new machine.  It also feels very solid.  Other than the lack of XLR inputs, the new HDR-FX1000 is at the top of the heap in prosumer camcorders.  We have one on display at our Roberts Imaging downtown location.  Come down and check it out.  We also have the full line of both Canon and Sony consumer HD camcorders in stock and ready for a good home!
