Product Description

 
For striking, detailed high definition recording, the Sony Handycam HDR-FX1 camcorder is built for demanding consumers and discerning professionals. The HDR-FX1 features a real-time HD codec engine, which offers professional-level MPEG2 video compression, and a 14bit HD DXP (Digital Extended Processor) for increased processing speed. Images are captured on the three chip Advanced HAD CCD system that provides increased detail and improved video performance without any of the color bleeding found in other systems.

Sony HDV redefines semi-pro expectations

Date of Review:  Mar 4, 2005
The Bottom Line: Great cam, great price, but buy a tripod, shoot everything on HD and downgrade to SD for present editing.
Review: Forget XL2's, forget the HD1. This is the only camera that counts.

Sony's got a winner here!

Date of Review:  Jul 1, 2007
Review: Only had this camera for 2 weeks, but so far it has performed flawlessly. I have been taping for 10 years with a VX1000 which still records great video, but the FX7 is definitely a superior camcorder. HD is as close to being there as is possible...
