Total score ? (maximal 570) | 374 | 344 |
| Pros | + Very good image quality impression + Wide optics + handling well-conceived + Very well equipped
| - Good display
|
| Cons | - No full HDV-resolution - DV-quality only average
| - Image characteristics can not be changed - few image control options
|
| Conclusion | The Sony FX1 lacks CCDs with full HDV-resolution, which is visible at least in the horizontal resolution.Nevertheless, the subjective image impression is still very good due to the very good dynamic behavior with extremely little noise and the consistent color reproduction.Despite the comparatively large wide-angle, optical errors are within limits, only little distortion and chromatic aberrations can be detected.In low light situations the FX1 is just about good -- here too the low noise a plus point. | The high resolution of its 3D images is a real novelty in this price range.In automatic mode, beautiful 3D images can be made quickly and easily.Manual control, however, is scarce. |
