Specification :

HDR-FX1000 is Sony' s new version of the HDR-FX1. Sony has included three 1/ 3-inch ClearVid CMOS sensors instead of three CCDs, chopped off about an inch of the body, and added a new 20 x 29.5mm wide-angle G-Lens. With a few design and functional changes, the FX1000 is the ultimate amateur and beginning professional' s weapon of choice.

The great thing about a camera like the FX1000, is that it allows you to capture full HD 1920x1080 resolution video without having to purchase a $ 20, 000 professional model. ( The video is processed internally as 1920x1080, but due to the bitrate limitations of the HDV format, the video is still recorded at 1440x1080.) The FX1000 also provides a 1080/ 24p and 1080/ 30p Progressive Scan mode that enables nice looking film-like video. You can now secure HDV captures onto tape by way of a 2: 3 pull-down, which records to tape at 60i. This divides each frame into two fields, which then reverts to its original state as you bring it into an editing program.
Not much changed with the Optical SteadyShot Image Stabilization System. It felt easy to shoot with and, even under extreme conditions, our shots still remained very steady.
