Sony Hdv Professional Video Camera Price

As a professional cameraman, I have been using these Sony Digital Master HDV tapes for about 10 years for commercials and web videos. I have about 600 in my tape vault, all shot on my Sony Z1U and FX1 cameras. The tapes are extremely dependable. Amazingly, in all these years I've only seen a few momentary drop-outs, and I have never lost a scene to tape damage. These days I use my HDV cameras for second or third cameras on many shoots, or when I need a special look such as low shutter speed. I am very glad that Sony continues to make this tape, and that B&H continues to sell them.

I picked up the case to store and transport my Sony Z5U HDV camera. The case is well made and it leaves me enough room to carry several spare batteries, the charger and has plenty of room for additional accessories.

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!

Overall a great camera for the price. Low light performance is not the greatest, but in good light is provides perfectly clear HD footage. It is a little small to hold on to. Transfer of HDV to Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 was perfectly smooth after installing the HDV codec.

IN SONY PROFESSIONAL VIDEO CAM. GREAT RESOLUTION

This camera is perfect for professional photos and video.

Great camera for its price. Professional grade construction and quality. Fast burst and easy to use. Only one thing I would say is a con that there is no video but I don't even use video and the cameras in this price range when you add video you lose photography abilities i.e. fps, burst, etc.

Use the battery with the Sony Z5u HDV camcorder. Have tried the off brand batteries with mixed results - sometimes they (the off brand batteries) don't seem to charge properly in the new Sony chargers. In my opinion it is worth it to spend a few bucks more and get the real deal and piece of mind.

perfect solution for using either small Sony HDV cameras, or smaller Panasonic HD cameras with my full sized jib's zoom.

I use these tapes with my Sony HVR-AU1. I switch back and forth between DVCAM and HDV. These tapes prove extremely durable and provide excellent quality.
