  1. Do you know if this camera with a big enough SD card will continuously
    shoot video @1080p(and if on plugged in power) or has it got a limit where
    it will cut the video off?

  9. Awesome review Peter. Did you manipulate the frame rate down to 30fps, or
    does youtube do that automatically? Just curious how it looks at 50/60.

  11. @GroovyVlog, just received this camera, two questions for you… Did you
    notice there is lens wiggle which shifts when zooming? Also, slight stutter
    in videos, especially when paning. Not sure if it does it in 30p.

  12. @catascouts For me, it last about 2hrs. Consider this though – I took the
    camera to the Sade concert recently and although I got incredible video
    quality footage, My battery was pretty much done by her last song. I didn’t
    have enough juice to record her encore song. I was however, taking pictures
    during the concert as well which played a major part in my battery
    drainage. It really is somthing you will have to test out for yourself.
    It’s a great camera.. just think about getting a 2nd battery

  21. I know this video is four years old but thanks for it. I just got this
    camera for free. I had to buy a charger for 8 bucks. But i am looking
    forward to using it. I havent even turned it on yet so you video answered
    alot of questions.

  22. I’ve had this camera for 3 years and when I just looked up the specs it’s
    supposed to take 10 pics per second. Mine can take 1 per 3 seconds, is this
    because my memory card is too slow?

  25. I have one of these, and while it’s an amazing camera, it does have some
    real disadvantages, namely: Flash on the camera is useless, it over exposes
    on every shot within 10 feet of camera. Mic is better than most, but in
    concerts, it still will splatter a lot on playback. But worst of all, it’s
    NOT durable…you drop this camera once and it’ll start effing up on you.
    The lense cap now gets stuck, the CPU will hang-up and hard shut-down…I
    once had a problem where the lense wouldn’t focus between 4x and 10x, then
    it suddenly corrected itself…going back to Panasonic or Fujifilm for next
    purchase

  26. Hey, I’m having trouble with this camera’s videos. The format is AVCHD and
    I can only view it in iMovie and then export it into QuickTime. However, in
    QuickTime the quality appears to be much lower. Should it be? And when
    uploading to YouTube a QuickTime video from this camera, the quality on
    YouTube is at 460… How can I improve the quality for viewing on YouTube
    and on QuickTime? Thanks.

  27. i there any way to view my firmware number or details on this model, is it
    possible to update firmware as i think the JPEG compression is too
    much…has sony ever tried to check on this problem or not.?

  31. HX9V or HX20V? Outside of the camera performance, I’m really interesting in
    video quality with big attention to the audio. thanks 🙂

  35. GPS Function can be disabled, no prob. I have two NP-FG1 batteries that
    tell me 188 minutes. (NP-FG1 is info-lithium, tells you how much time is
    left unlike the NP-BG1 that comes with the camera). This has been a great
    camera to have, especially for video and if you have the settings right,
    you can zoom in past the 16x to a digital 22x. I have taken it to Asia a
    couple of times, it’s a little bulky but the pictures are great for a
    non-SLR, the video on an HDTV will blow you away.

    quality is superb… I’m still an amateur though, gotta read the manual for
    other of its awesome features lol

  42. Great video man !, I’ve been looking at new cameras from Cannon & Nikon and
    none of them seem to match the fractures & functions that this Sony can
    match so it looks like I might be buying one

  45. Great review. Have you tried the Fujifilm FinePix F550EXR? Do you think it
    is comparable to the Sony HX9V? I would really appreciate if you reply 🙂
