Editor's note: Though the HDR-FX1 remains an excellent prosumer HD
camcorder, the changing competitive landscape has prompted us to retire its
Editors' Choice designation.
At first glance, the Sony HDR-FX1 looks like a slightly enlarged version of its standard-definition cousin, the VX2100.
The Sony HDR-FX1 brings you high-definition 1,080i, 60-field-per-second video capture by way of two major components: the camera hardware and the HD codec engine.
The Sony HDR-FX1's automatic functions--focus, exposure, white balance, and audio levels--are all very accurate and fast-acting, about as good as automation gets.
Since the Sony HDR-FX1 shoots both HDV and DV, the image quality of each of these modes must be evaluated independently.
