User questions & answers

Question:	Does anyone knows the weight of this cam
Answer:	To be honest, I don't really suggest the T6 these days unless it's all your budget will allow. It is a good camera for a beginner, but I feel that it is outgrown pretty quickly. I personally suggest the SL2 instead (sometimes called the 200D). It is just as easy to use as the T6, is not much more expensive, and has several important advantages... 1. Better resolution - 24mp vs 18mp. 2. Better for video - The T6 does not use dual pixel AF and does not feature STM silent focus support. The SL2 does. SL2 also has a mic jack and the T6 does not. This is important for video shooting, even if you don't think you will do it a lot the SL2 kills the T6 for video. It shoots at 1080 with 60p, the same as the more expensive T7i, 77D, and 80D. The T6 is 1080 30p. 3. Flip Out screen - Sounds corny, but this is very handy to have. Screen can flip out and be turned to just about any angle, even to face forward on the camera. It's also a touch screen that makes it easy to change settings and change focus when shooting video as well as in live view mode. Makes getting low angles so much easier. It also has face tracking. This alone makes the SL2 a better value than the T6. 4. More Compact - The SL2 is much smaller than other DSLRs from Canon. Makes it easier to tote around. 5. Other stuff - Better burst (5fps vs 3fps), better ISO (25,600 vs 6400), better dynamic range (13 stops vs 11 stops), UHS-1 card support vs none, better battery life, wifi/nfc/bluetooth vs wifi/nfc, built in time-lapse mode vs none, support for Canon Camera Connect Ap vs none. I feel like the SL2 is the best beginner camera Canon makes. It's simple enough to learn the basics, but also feature rich enough to still be useful after you have mastered them. All this and it's about 100 USD more than the T6/T7 base models.
Question:	How would this camera be for an imeg or webinar situation? what is the output quality and frame rate for the hdmi output
Answer:	The Canon 800D and the Canon T7i are identical cameras that only differ by name. T7i is the name in the USA
Question:	Can I run a usb cable from the camera to a laptop to live stream at the same time I am recording to SD that will be edited later
Answer:	Es la 800D, tambien conosida como la T7i
Question:	What is the camera's safety temperature zone for filming - lowest & highest
Answer:	It’s the eu version, literally no different between the models besides one being called t7i and one called 800d

Sony HXR-NX100 Full HD NXCAM Camcorder

Description:

The HXR-NX100 is an affordable, compact Full-HD camera capable of stunning results with a no-compromise big 1.0-type sensor, and a familiar, proven set of manual controls, including three independent manual lens rings, alongside smart fully auto options. The NX100 offers all the professional features you need in a robust yet compact chassis.

High sensitivity and high resolution

Thanks to the 1.0-type Exmor R CMOS sensor, the HXR-NX100 has much higher sensitivity than camcorders in its category. The 1.0 sensor is brighter, has higher resolution and offers more bokeh with a shallow depth of field than any other camcorder in its price range, allowing you to create beautiful, cinematic images that will amaze you and your clients.

NX100 offers a step-change in imaging performance while support for multiple recording format capabilities, including XAVC-S 50Mbps, AVCHD and DV file-based recording

Get close with a 48x zoom

Sony developed a high quality, 29mm wide-angle G Lens specifically for the NX100 to capture even the most expansive scenes with superb clarity. A 12x optical zoom is dramatically enhanced with Sony’s unique By Pixel Super Resolution Technology – which can enlarge the image by additional 24x while still preserving image quality. Zoom performance can also be doubled at any point with digital extender offering a maximum zoom capability of 48x.

Manual operability in professional handy design

The HXR-NX100 is ergonomically designed to provide a lightweight and easy-to-use shooting experience. Three manual, independent lens rings enables smooth, natural adjustment of focussing, zooming and iris control. It can also be used in full-auto mode or completely manual for maximum creative control. Manual dial and buttons on the side of the body allow swift and easy adjustment of IRIS (aperture), GAIN and shutter speed. The white balance is simple to adjust by colour temperature in convenient 100K steps.

Dual media slots for recording flexibility

To extend recording time and workflow flexibility, the NX100 is equipped with two memory card slots and is compatible with SDXC and SDHC cards as well as Memory Stick PRO Duo (Mark 2) and Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo.

RELAY mode automatically switches recording from the first to the second memory card when the first is full, while SIMUL mode permits simultaneous recording to two memory cards (for example to create an immediate back-up version). The NX100’s two Start/Stop buttons on the handle grip, and camcorder body, can independently start and stop recording on different memory cards while recording in SIMUL mode.

Experience stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain with Sony’s back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor.

26.8mm ZEISS Lens w/30x Optical/60x Clear Image Zoom

Not only is this 26.8mm wide-angle ZEISS Vario-Tessar lens ideal for capturing grand landscapes, but also allows you to get amazingly close with 30x optical zoom plus 60x Clear Image digital zoom. Most digital zooms use electronic cropping to get closer to the subject, resulting in un-sharp images. With Clear Image Zoom the powerful processor compares patterns found in adjacent pixels and creates new pixels to match selected patterns, resulting in more realistic, higher-quality images. Clear Image Zoom doubles optical zoom for closer photos and video.

2.7 inch Clear Photo Plus LCD display

The 2.7 inch (16:9) Clear Photo LCD (230K) displays sharp, bright, vivid images, letting you compose a shot more easily - even outdoors, while enabling you to change settings to best represent the scene.

Share the adventure as it happens via Ustream live streaming. Now your circle of friends and family can share the excitement in real time by simply logging in to Ustream from anywhere. You can also link your favorite social accounts with the streaming to notify your friends when you start streaming video.

Built-in USB cable for easy file transfer/ charge

The high-speed, built-in USB 2.0 cable allows for easy connection to your computer for charging or file transfer without having to remember separate cables. It also fits conveniently into the hand strap so it’s out of the way until you need it. Charging your camcorder is faster than ever now through the USB; for every two minutes of charge time you get one minute of recording time.

Face Detection with voice enhancement and noise reduction

Sony’s Face Detection technology can automatically distinguish between children and adults. Face Detection technology detects up to eight individual faces and adjusts flash, focus, exposure, and white balance to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends.

Get creative w/ 7 picture effects for video and still photos

Picture Effects add a new level of expression to video and photos, making ordinary landscapes and portraits come to life by heightening mood and emphasizing certain attributes. There are seven different effects such as partial color to make your focal point stand out, or watercolor which looks like a painting.

Multi-camera control

Add a different point of view by including other camera angles to your movies. The camcorder connects to compatible cameras - like an Action Cam - via Wi-Fi and uses the camcorder’s LCD to preview what the other cameras are seeing and simultaneously start recording on all synced cameras.

User questions & answers

Question:	What does the camera come with? it's a gift for my mom and I was wondering if I should get a bag for it or a memory card
Answer:	So - to answer his question directly - the answer is no. The buyer will need to buy a memory card.
Question:	What is the longest continuous recording file that you can create with this camera, assuming 64gb sdxc
Answer:	Hi R. N. Winters, depending on the type of videos to be recorder: XAVC S HD - 2 h 35 min, AVCHD (High Quality) - 8 h 15 min), AVCHD (standard) - 14 h 40 min. Hope this helps. -Ely
Question:	Can I record while the camera is charging? If I have a portable charger, could I have the camera plugged into that and still record
Answer:	I think the answers are confusing to some. Here's the scoop. You can use an external battery pack like the one you charge your Iphone with or you can plug it into a USB port or you can use the 110v adapter with USB cable plugged in. When you do those following things the camera is running off those power sources and not your battery. And yes, you can record while plugged into those external power sources. The battery will not charge when doing that and recording but that should not be a problem. Charge your battery at home. Now start recording and when your battery gets low plug into your external battery pack or USB and keep going. I own this camera and did the experiment. I use this in my car as a dash cam and it's plugged into my cigarette lighter and it runs non stop without using the battery.
Question:	Does it have a 3.5mm jack to plug in an external microphone
Answer:	This camcorder does not have an external microphone jack.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does anybody have size reference comparisons
Answer:	Can you elaborate, size in reference to what?
Question:	I know the flat lense case is normally separate... But is it included in this purchase? I'm reading: the camera, the case and the remote
Answer:	The AS50 and flat lens case is included, no remote.
Question:	Does this unit have GPS
Answer:	Hi Arnold, no, the camera doesn't have a GPS feature. Thanks_Mitch
Question:	Are the new features on this camera worth getting if i already have a previous sony action cam
Answer:	It depends on what you are looking at getting from your action cam. The video quality is pretty comparable to previous models like the AS100 or AZ1. The perks are the included flat lens, better user interface, and digital zoom feature. Some of the down-sides are the camera is no longer splash proof outside of the dive housing, and there is no external mic input (not that the previous models had ones that were easily accessible). I was really hoping for increase photo capabilities, like manual shutter for night photography, but we didn't get that. All in all a good purchase, but I don't know if I would recommend it if you already own a Sony Action Camera.

User questions & answers

Question:	can I use my android phone as a remote to view
Answer:	I do not believe there is a limit on 4k, as long as your card (max bitrate requires U3 class microsd) supports it and has a capacity that will accommodate the length. You can view live pictures when you are recording but I am not sure if you can review clips you recorded, as I have never tried. Hope this helps.
Question:	is this one camera or two
Answer:	Keep in mind it's easy to convert the FDR-X3000 to use all of the "standard" mounts, brackets, and related hardware. The camera can't be in its dive case to use a tripod screw to hardware adapter. The camera body must, however, use its own dive case. One is included with the camera.
Question:	can i take away the live remote control from the wristband? im planning to buy a shooting grip and finger grip to use the camera
Answer:	It has a 3.5mm audio jack in the back, on which you can use 3 pole-microphones (doesn't work with smartphone mics!).
Question:	Is the Live View Remote waterproof
Answer:	It needs the case to be fully waterproof. By itself it's splash proof meaning it'll take a light drizzle or drop in the snow. Sound quality is so-so, doesn't handle wind well even with the wind noise reduction. Has a port for an external mic if you're worried about the quality, just remember that with the case on you won't be able to use the mic port.

Both have the ability to control several camera capabilities including shooting settings, start/stop recording, power on/off and more.

All new Live-View Remote

The HDR-AS300 Action Cam is available in a kit (HDR-AS300R) with a compact Live-View Remote that is about 30% smaller than previous version. It acts as an extension of the camera and feature a more in-depth user interface and menu system, with a rich indication of camera settings that makes it easier to navigate menus and customize settings as needed. “Wi-Fi high power mode”, extends the communication distance between the camera and Live-View Remote for more flexible shooting. The mountable design, allows the Live View Remote to be attached to various optional accessories such as Finger Grip (AKA-FGP1) or Handlebar Mount (VCT-HM2) using supplied mount adaptor, or worn as a wristband using supplied strap.

Tough body endures harsh conditions

The HDR-AS300 body alone is splashproof and freezeproof. With the supplied Waterproof Housing it’s dustproof, shockproof and waterproof to 197ft / 60m. So whether you’re hiking on a rainy day, skiing or snowboarding, making dirt biking movies, surfing the waves or exploring undersea, Action Cam provides real-world rugged design. With a universal tripod screw mount on the body of the Action Cam itself, and one on the Waterproof Housing, you can easily attach the camera directly to a tripod.

Underwater Housing as standard gear

Take the HDR-AS300 Action Cam diving to 197ft / 60m using the supplied Underwater Housing (MPK-UWH1 ) - no need to buy optional gear. Equipped with a flat port in front of the lens and convenient camera buttons on the side - lets you easily control all functions through the housing. What's more, it shields this hardy compact camera from shocks, damp, rust, dust and sand. Enjoy carefree aquatic adventures and extend your exploration to tough terrain.

Selectable viewing angle and 3x zoom

Capture epic ultra-wide -angle views with the ZEISS Tessar lens or choose your own viewing angle from Wide, Medium or Narrow. Changing the angle of view also helps correct for the barrel distortion - common in POV cameras. In addition, seamlessly adjust up to 3x smooth zoom mode, which enables you to change zooming while shooting. Either way, you'll always be capturing beautiful shots of the most challenging ski slopes, mountain trails, swirling rapids or pitted asphalt paths.

High quality 12MP up to 10 fps

Catch fast-moving action with burst shooting. This allows you to take a maximum of ten high-quality shots of a trick or transition, making it the perfect feature for those who love to go back and analyze their style or select the critical moment. Burst mode settings: 10 fps/1 sec., 5 fps/2 sec., 2fps /5 sec.

8.3MP Interval record and 4K time-lapse video

Set the camera to capture stunning 8.3MP stills over regular intervals for an extended period of time. 8.3MP is optimized for 4K (3840x2160) and can be used to create beautiful 4K Time-lapse videos. Time-lapse Capture lets you produce time-lapse movies easily by using high-quality 4K still images shot at designated intervals. Then Action Cam Movie Creator (v. 5.1 for Windows, v.3.1 for Mac) simply transforms these images into an impressive time-lapse movie. The Action Cam App (v. 2.0)12) can create Full HD time-lapse movies from these stills as well.

Catch all the motion in one shot

Capture an entire action sequence in a single frame with Motion Shot. This feature creates a composite image of a subject in motion, with variable settings for different burst speeds, which are 10fps, 5fps and 2fps.

Enhanced convenience

Built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, and GPS allow for instant connection, control and tracking pf your epic adventures. A new intuitive interface, 3x rec. lights and adjustable beep volume ensure easy operation and a built-in tripod socket means you can quickly attach your Action Cam to a tripod for rock-steady shots. The USB, HDMI and microphone jack connections are now located on the back of the camera for enhanced ease of connection and accessory attachment.

Built-in GPS - display your Action Cam route

Built-in GPS tags your videos so that location tracking and speedometer can be added to the video file when Action Cam Movie Creator9 is used. This also allows GPS Data Overlay on Video to read your speed data and generate another video file that includes your route, speed information, etc.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this camcorder automatically "close" video files after 20 minutes? I have an earlier model that closes recordings after 20 minutes, then starts
Answer:	I haven't come across that yet.
Question:	does it have a pause button
Answer:	I have not used it in nine months, but my recollection is that you hit record, then stop, and then hit record again. The handycam is very easy to operate. My criticism is that the process to transfer the video to my laptop is too complicated with the software required to be downloaded from the Sony website. I did not take it on our last trip to South Africa because I dreaded the time required to download to my laptop.
Question:	Can a 7 in screen be attached
Answer:	Hi Diego, you can attach an external monitor to the camera via HDMI connection. If you're connecting an external monitor to the camera please make sure to use a bracket to hold it . Thanks_Mitch
Question:	Does the bundle include an AC adapter
Answer:	battery charger incl. no direct wall to camera adapter though.

See how Action Cam opens spectacular new vistas with mesmerizing, with Full HD and steady action. Take POV action movies to a new level and capture your best moves with Full HD resolution. Capture stable images and video as never before with Balanced Optical SteadyShot. Shoot anywhere with Action Cam real-world rugged design.

Ultimate image stabilization

The HDR-AS300 Action Cam combines outstanding Full HD resolution with Balanced Optical SteadyShot image stabilization for advanced camera-shake compensation. Unlike digital image stabilization, Balanced Optical SteadyShot is significantly more effective at cutting the effects of camera shake internally, the camera’s lens and sensor are joined and moved together controlling the entire optical path as one floating unit. This advanced stabilization system makes it easier to shoot beautifully clear, stable images while traveling, bike riding, and in other active situations.

Outstanding Full HD1ZEISS lens and Exmor R CMOS sensor

Featuring a new ZEISS Tessar lens with significantly less lens distortion than previous models, the HDR-AS300 is also equipped with a back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor and an acclaimed BIONZ X processor, ensuring that video quality remains consistently strong across all settings. With full pixel readout without pixel binning the HDR-AS300 produces outstanding Full HD videos. The built-in stereo mic with wind noise reduction reduces the impact of wind interference.

Remote camera control and viewing

Users can stream a live preview and control the Action Cam with the optional Live-View Remote (sold in a kit version: HDR-AS30R) or utilize Sony’s PlayMemories Mobile application on a smart device - available for both Android and iOS. Both have the ability to control several camera capabilities including shooting settings, start/stop recording, power on/off and more.

Tough body endures harsh conditions

The HDR-AS300 body alone is splashproof and freezeproof. With the supplied Waterproof Housing it’s dustproof, shockproof and waterproof to 197ft / 60m. So whether you’re hiking on a rainy day, skiing or snowboarding, making dirt biking movies, surfing the waves or exploring undersea, Action Cam provides real-world rugged design. With a universal tripod screw mount on the body of the Action Cam itself, and one on the Waterproof Housing, you can easily attach the camera directly to a tripod.

High Quality stereo sound with wind noise reduction

Make a great movie even better with great audio. Built-in stereo microphone allows you to capture sounds of your adventure in two-track stereo, naturally. Wind noise reduction reduces the impact of wind interference on overall audio quality. Clear sound with reduced noise enhances the most sophisticated movie work you can produce. There’s also a convenient mic jack for times where an external microphone is needed.

Capture wide, vibrant and clear footage with a 26.8mm lens, 30x optical zoom and Fast Intelligent Autofocus. Even enjoy time-lapse recording and detailed sound from the 5-direction microphone. It’s great shooting made easy.

Brilliant 50Mbps XAVC S 1920x1080 at 60P, AVCHD and MP4 codecs

Create cinematic video in high definition 1920 x 1080 30p/60p up to 50Mbps in XAVC S3 and high quality 9.2MP still images.

Experience stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain with Sony’s back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor.

Premium 26.8mm ZEISS Lens w/30x Optical/60x Clear Image Zoom

Not only is this 26.8mm wide-angle ZEISS Vario-Tessar lens ideal for capturing grand landscapes, but also allows you to get amazingly close with 30x optical zoom plus 60x Clear Image digital zoom. Most digital zooms use electronic cropping to get closer to the subject, resulting in un-sharp images. With Clear Image Zoom the powerful processor compares patterns found in adjacent pixels and creates new pixels to match selected patterns, resulting in more realistic, higher-quality images. Clear Image Zoom doubles optical zoom for closer photos and video.

Optical SteadyShot image stabilization w/ Intelligent Active Mode

Optical SteadyShot image stabilization with Active Mode compensates for greater degrees of camera shake to deliver stunningly smooth video from wide angle to full telephoto shooting. In addition, innovative 3-Way Shake-Canceling adds electronic roll stability for even smoother video capture.

Fast Intelligent AF captures the decisive moment

Fast Intelligent AF achieves incredibly rapid and accurate contrast-detection. It minimizes lens motion, predicting the AF range, and accelerates the lens drive, thereby improving response so you can capture precise moments.

Produce high quality Time Lapse in HD for an immersive experience

You can capture high resolution still images continuously over an extensive period of time at a selected constant interval from each shot to the next, edit the entire sequence of still images in post-production, and enjoy playback of that series of images as a Full High Definition time-lapse movie.

Automatically creates highlight video in MP4 from multiple clips

Highlight Movie Maker produces a short highlight movie clip to share and enjoy instantly. Using an advanced algorithm, based on the motion gyro, Highlight Movie Maker selects the best scenes from your videos and automatically creates a MP4 highlight video from multiple clips.

3.0 inch Clear Photo Plus LCD display

The 3.0 inch (16:9) Clear Photo LCD (230K) displays sharp, bright, vivid images, letting you compose a shot more easily -- even outdoors, while enabling you to change settings to best represent the scene.

Connect, control, backup, share and broadcast wirelessly with NFC7/Wi-Fi

Easily connect to an Android or iOS smartphone or tablet with Wi-Fi and the PlayMemories Mobile app to control the camcorder (Rec, photo, zoom) or instantly transfer, share movies and photos via your mobile device.7 NFC (Near Filed Communication) makes it even easier to connect to NFC compatible mobile devices with one touch.

Share the adventure as it happens via Ustream live streaming8. Now your circle of friends and family can share the excitement in real time by simply logging in to Ustream from anywhere. You can also link your favorite social accounts with the streaming to notify your friends when you start streaming video.

Connect, control, backup, share and broadcast wirelessly with NFC7/Wi-Fi con't

Add a different point of view by including other camera angles to your movies. The camcorder connects up to five compatible cameras5 - like an Action Cam - via Wi-Fi and uses the camcorder’s LCD to preview what the other cameras are seeing and simultaneously start recording on all synced cameras. Use PlayMemories Home6 to easily edit a multi-view movie for a great video experience.

Built-in USB cable for easy file transfer/charge

The high-speed, built-in USB 2.0 cable allows for easy connection to your computer for charging or file transfer without having to remember separate cables. It also fits conveniently into the hand strap so it’s out of the way until you need it. Charging your camcorder is faster than ever now through the USB; for every two minutes of charge time you get one minute of recording time.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it record while charging? Can the microphone be turned off
Answer:	Operating Temperature 32 to 104°F / 0 to 40°CStorage Temperature -4 to 140°F / -20 to 60°C
Question:	Why az1vr/w when there is hdr-as100vr. what are differences and advantages, besides being smaller
Answer:	Small lens are ok. I cannot fit my camera with my AF-S Nikkor 70-200 mm f2.8 lens attached. Hope this helps
Question:	Will the camera still auto focus with water proof housing
Answer:	Some of the answers don't seem right, but I think two models are being confused. The Canon T7i appears to have the 2.5mm jack on it for an external microphone. But the Canon T7 (DS126741) appears to have no way to record audio, with the exception of the built in mic. Refer to page 271 of the T7 (not T7i) manual. The jacks under the rubber flap on the right side, (looking at the camera with the lens toward you), are (top to bottom) Shutter Release, USB, and HDMI. Supposedly, you can use a RODE mic with 2.5mm plug, and an adapter found here on Amazon which converts the 2.5mm to the USB plug to record audio. I've seen several mentions, (as well as people saying it doesn't work), so if anyone has an honest citation please post it, or a Youtube video showing how it's done for us Canon I7 owners.
Question:	How does this camera perform underwater? Is it blurry without the flat lens
Answer:	It isn't the camera that uses the CPL, it's the lens. The 18-55mm lens has a 58mm thread for filters, so be sure that your filter thread size is 58mm. I personally suggest sticking to good filters to avoid degradation of your photos. I like B+W, but Hoya and Promaster make good ones too. I actually have a review of the 58mm Promaster filter on my profile, if you want to see some sample images of it.

Answer:	We used the HDMI out from the camera, fed that to a Pengo HDMI to USB C /3.0. That converted the video from HDMI to USB. That video signal was useable on Zoom or YouTube for live streaming.

Product description

The Sony Handycam HDR-TD30V utilizes two Full HD sensors to capture true 1920x1080 3D video for a more immersive 3D experience. Most 3D cameras achieve the 3D affect by splitting a 1920x1080 signal in to two 960x540 channels in order to squeeze them onto one sensor, thereby limiting resolution on the final output.
