Sony Mpeg Movie Hqx Digital Still Camera

Still learning all the features, but using it off camera & cordless is the reason I finally bought a digital flash.

Getting back into photography, first attempt at digital. The camera is easy to use, with lots of features. Still getting used to it, but no regrets so far.

Use this product with my Sony digital camera alfa 5.

This is a great Camera with a few tiny concerns to me. The battery takes two hours to fully charge so if you take HD videos you get maybee 30 minutes before needing a recharge so then a second battery is important. Another thing is the HD recording is in MOV format and it will only play in Quick Time on a computer with the Canon software Zoom Browser Installed. Without Zoom Browser installed, Quick Time won't play the MOV format Canon makesprobably because MOV editing capability is embeded in Canon's MOV format I also find that MOV format gets only 30 minutes recording per 4 GB's data versus the preferred MPEG-4 format used on higher end SLR cameras for HD recording that compresses four times better at least. If this Camara could record in MPEG-4 format it would be much better. For example you can put a two hour MPEG-4 movie on 4 GB's data as the film industry uses on DVD's. Other than that I love this camera because it is highly functional, yet relatively small. I avoid those big SLR camera's because in many situations they are too intrusive to use casually in public and are easily left at home because they are a pain to lug around. This is a very practical camera for all uses except professional wedding photography and the like.

I use this battery with my PMW-F3 sony camera. I also use other sony batteries for my digital camera and digital video cam. All SONY batteries last longer and get charged fast. But they are somewhat expensive.

Still rocking this Camera!

Still learning to use it. By know the best camera I ever had.

This is an updated review after using it on my Sony A7R II for a couple of weeks. Still works fantastic. You have to update firmware on the camera, remote and lights. We tried it on someone else's A7R II that had old firmware and it would not work until we updated the firmware on the camera. You can shoot right up 1/8000th of second no problem. It's really a game changer for Sony cameras.

Great camera , been shooting Nikon for 12 years, then a Sony mirrorless. Still love the Nikon DSLR's. Great price from B&H, as always.

about 1/4 the cost as the Sony version. The Sony remote has a movie button if you are into that.
