Sony Semi Professional Digital Camera

I bought this mic as an on camera shotgun and loved it. I use it on a Sony HDR- AX2000. I'm a semi-professional videographer and I shoot a lot of shorts, high school/minor league sports, and corporate interviews. The audio quality was clean and the mic even performed well as a boom on a few shoots because the mic had great range. It compact so it's great on the camera, it never gets in the shot like longer models. Make sure to use the rubber spacing rings that come with the mic to get a snug fit in the camera's mic shoe because this mic is narrow. Also know that the mic requires phantom power (Must be used off an XLR straight out of the camera) I'll only owned the mic for a few months so I can only hope it will last over time but so far so good. It is a great mic for a semi-professional/professional on a bugdet.

This is the perfect every-day walk-around camera for semi professional or enthusiast like me. Over all it fit the role I wanted it for. My set-up is Sony A6000 f4/ 16-70 Zeiss Lens 998.00 cost moore than camera. This lens very sharp, it takes much better pictures compared to kit lens. I used side by side Canon 6D $dollars camera with prime 24-105 lens, Sony has the edge. Canon lost its bang. I do not want to carry heavy camera when I travel. Sony gets my vote for its innovations. Thank you B@H FOR YOUR PERSONAL PERFORMANCE AND HELP.

While digital technologies continue to be perfected with professional camera use and their widespread applications, the latest Sony RX1RII fixed Zeiss lens camera (other cameras allow long-lens variants) exceeds expectations, especially when printing work on a large scale (with the Epson Stylus Pro 9900). While some relatively minor imperfections exist as with all cameras that professionals adjust to, the expansive quality of color, remarkable low-light resolution, extraordinary image quality and virtual unlimited visual potentials provide challenges that move into unchartered territory for artists (see attached site-specific photographic installation of 112x152cm prints). The most problematic issue is not Sony's: Adobe Photoshop has abandoned the long supporting professional community by not making a plug-in for this camera's RAW files (ARW in Sony terms). Two alternatives: 1) join the CC monthly feed of Adobe Photoshop (APS), abandoning the experienced professional use of all former Photoshop versions, or 2) for 99$ purchase the most basic APS Elements software that notes the Sony RX1RII RAW files are supported, at least noted in Elements literature. What a way to treat loyal professionals and Sony over the years, claiming that CC is better without meaningful details justifying the obvious money first, customer second policy for purchasing the CC version. Not mentioning inevitable future rises in CC prices, non-copyright protections in-Cloud, and not allowing printing in your studio with your own APS, even when CC RAW is tiff converted. Sony's RX1RII with Zeiss lens and its internal digital processor chip is remarkable for what the eye can see (numerous professional digital cameras now exceed what can be seen without mention), even with the rare if not unprecedented 600$ additional cost recently by Sony.

Semi Professional. Great for Macro Photography.

This camera is fantastic. I am a digital artist who turns digital images into artwork to sell and consider myself semi-professional. I upgraded from a 6MP and 12X camera and, without alot of excess cash to throw around, found the SX20 IS to fit my budget perfectly and still gave me a much better camera. The zoom is real nice and have yet to find myself in a situation to need a tripod but will when I go out to do some night shots. The wide angle is perfect for my use and, although 18mm would have been my ideal, the tradeoff for a longer telephoto worked for me. The adjustable LCD screen is great even outdoors in the sun but to have the option of the viewfinder when necessary. The only downsides I've found so far are the lens cap which, despite purchasing a tether for it, I still lost it and the lens hood is a bit flakey and could easily come off the lens as there isn't much thread for it. All in all, I am quite pleased with this camera and would readily recommend it to others.

Use this product with my Sony digital camera alfa 5.

I am a semi professional photographer who has developed tremors in both hands. Hand held shots were becoming very difficult. The Steady Shot is exactly what I needed to take shots without camera shake. In addition it takes the weight of a professional camera and heavy lens off my neck and back. The set up was a little confusing but I just love it. I would make sure to order the quick release plate and a quick release adaptor. Very well made. Excellent quality. Cotton Carrier Customer Service has been great.

Semi-pro and professional videographers buy our lights for all sorts of productions. When they buy our product, they look for an LED light that's easy to carry around for travel, is cool to the touch, and is bright, color-accurate, and produces plenty of light output. This light in particular is an on-camera light, meant to be attached to your camera hot shoe mount for very portable shooting. This is a daylight model with a consistent color temperature of 5600 Kelvins for natural looking light that does not dip or fade.

I needed a compact, semi-professional camera for a recent trip, and the Lumix DMC-ZS100 met all of my requirements. One feature that I personally found particularly useful was the electronic view-finder. While not the most robust camera that I have owned, it is well made, with excellent fit and finish.

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.
