Title: Sony hx90v - experiences?
Post by: GVL on April 10, 2016, 01:26:58 AM
Hi,

Sony's new hx90v seems interesting, mainly because it can record video using the XAVC S codec, which allows for bit rates up to 50MBps.

How effective this camera is in low light?  has anyone recorded concerts using this camera?


Thanks!

I've only shot two shows with it, one was an arena show with mostly bright lighting, the other was outdoors and it couldn't handle the sun and kept shutting down (I couldn't get a spot in the shade). Got it for mostly for the 30x zoom and tilting viewfinder.

Sound on some of these is muffled, had it on my knee shooting through a gap in plexi-glass barrier.

Here are two shows with the hx90v where there was not much lighting at all:
