Johnnie Behiri is a freelance cameraman and editor working mostly for the BBC, National Geographic, Discovery Channel. He tested the Sony HX9v for Cinema5d (Click here). You may ask why the hell he tested a compact camera for video? Click the play button and you will see it. It may not be casual that this is the best sold Sony camera on Amazon US (Click here to see the ranking).
And those are the HX9v price check links at [shopcountry 7597].

Thought that was Jason Statham when i first saw him.
+1 😀
Is the sound “sick” in a good way or in a bad way? I can’t tell by the video review.
Yes, that has been my question too. Is it like a NEX-5 without ECM-SST1? Is it worse? Or is it much worse? Similar would be very great sound already for such a camera. BTW this steadycam look really was impressive and on their website they show even more samples…
It hard to judge tone on the internet, so if you weren’t joking, he said the sound was “basic” apologies if i’ve had a sense of humour failure 😉
Strange times when We can only DOWNGRADE to DSLR from this compact camera..
Too bad they show almost video samples. I made some HD samples with previous model:

By the accent alone, I can tell this guy is Israeli.
Too funny…I thought so too. I think we’re both pretty good at recognizing accents. 😉
omg… looks like badly made sponsored video. Even if one ignores the accent. o_O
I’ve seen some handheld shots with this camera that look like dolly shots. The optical stabilization is really good. For videographers, this is a special camera. And with just a few changes it really could have been something incredible.
this is very difficult to understand as well as very annoying in general. i can see that these “pro” video characters are worried that someone is going to one up them with a 350US camera.
I have been using it’s little brother- the hx7v and am having alot of fun with this camera. Here are some shots from this weekend after a rain.
