New Sony Professional Video Camera 2012

I do professional videography but I started out years ago shooting on a Pentax K1000 film camera. I bought the a6000 primarily for shooting video with a large sensor camera. This camera is fantastic. At around $500 there is nothing that comes close in features and it has a aps C sensor which is found in 90% of all dslr and mirrorless cameras. I’ve seen canon 1” sensor point ant shoot cameras for hundreds more. I shoot low light wedding videos on this camera and the video looks fantastic. It also shoots video in Sony’s xavc 50 mbps format which is found on Sony cameras and pro camcorders costing thousands more. This small camera is a beast!

IN SONY PROFESSIONAL VIDEO CAM. GREAT RESOLUTION

I've shot with Sony cameras starting in 2012 with their NEX-5n. I moved to the a7 in 2014, then the a7II and the a7rIII. I found a good deal on an RX1 and loved the idea of a small point and shoot with a full frame sensor. I loved it so much and it quickyl became my go to camera. I bought the RX1RII becasue of the updated hybrid autofocus system that is snappy and much improved from the first version. The popup EVF is much nicer than having to attach to the hotshoe like the older version. This is my favorite camera, it gives me joy to use each time I pick it up. It goes everywhere with me!

New Sony 4 K video camcorder and needed new Blu-Ray burner for burning high quality DVD's of family events. Easy to use and DVD's play in DVD Player.

This camera is perfect for professional photos and video.

Shot a wedding with my New Sony Camera and having the extra batteries really saved me! Loving my new Sony set up from B&H! Can always count on them to deliver!

I bought the 881 for a research trip to New Zealand. After 5 weeks of using it I had tried most of it's features and found the camera to be amazing. For my run-and-gun style it was light weight and versatile, though I found the night time imagery very grainy and generally unusable without adequate lighting. It did, however, catch the images in almost total darkness outdoors - good for documentation but not so good for final video shows. The camera is difficult to hold still, compared to my Panasonic HVX 200, that weighed in at around 7 lbs with lens extension, because it is so light. It requires good technique and/or a tripod to get professional video out of it. I find I use my post-shoot stabilization filter in FCP7 a lot. The biggest issue was with my previous camera was the lack of an eye-piece for capturing fast moving subjects. I just couldn't see enough with just the screen, especially in strong daylight. My new camera, the HC-WXF991 has the essential view finder and I have had much less of a problem following and framing my subjects now. I also have an issue with the manual zoom location - can't reach it with my big hands, but the on-screen zoom is awesome. On all other scores, it is a remarkable camera. The video is beautifully sharp and the response to various lighting and atmospheric conditions is very good - capturing good color and exposure in most instances. I got my 35 hours of research video in New Zealand and am looking forward to using my new 991 in the near future for more of the same.

Sony-compatible V-Mount battery that professional video-graphers and filmmakers use to power their LED video lights and cameras. Swapping out a few of these batteries can last you a whole day. There's a 5 LED status display on the side, which lets you know the current charge of the battery and they're quick to charge. It's a pretty lightweight battery so that it doesn't affect the stability of the camera or LED lighting panel you attach it to.

Video professional used this products on a Sony Z5 and it worked very well. All the features of this product, Zoom rocker worked smooth and varied in speed to pressure. The Record, Data, and Focus controls worked well stepping through functions. My only 2 criticisms are that there is no Iris control on the unit and the model I purchased was made of ABS Plastic. The plastic is fine if you are careful and remove from your Tripod. The controller is light so great for traveling. Durability is stil something to be evaluated over time.

Professional video producer, using these on a pair of Sony 7506s. The original pads disintegrated. These are SO much more comfortable plus they do a better job of isolating you from ambient sound. Replacing pads on my other cans with these.
