Cindy Films Macro With The Sony HDR XR550 1080i HD

Thanks Joe for the beautiful editing of my clips!!

I'm new to videography. I was the still photographer of JCVdude, but have been promoted to Video now. I'm using the HDR XR-500 and was experimenting with the macro setting. Totally impressed with what this camera can capture and I'm a beginner!

bizarre but real video of a bee flying

My Sony HDR AX2000 is inspirational!!

I was walking up the road when I noticed these really crazy bees just hovering above the ground at different heights. I wondered if I could film them;

  • Would I be able to find them with the view finder?
  • Would they stay in one position long enough?
  • And will this camera capture the detail?

YES!     YES!     YES!

With the camera set to ‘smooth, slow record’ . . . . well you be the judge.

I love this camera!!!

Using the Sony HDR AX2000 in the field

We make our living by filming & editing video for our Channel on YouTube . . .

It’s been 5 days, and this camera is a lot more than a handycam! It’s amazing and I love it! I thought initially that I would only use it 80% of the time, but I already know that I will be using 100% of the time! In fact, I’d love to redo many of videos with it!!

Five days of discovery and learning Using the Sony HDR AX2000. Here are just a few of the great features so far:

  1. It’s instant on! The minute I press record, it's filming!
  2. Films to a Memory stick Pro-Duo. I have 2 memory sticks (32GB) and the capability of filming for up to 20 hours!
  3. The 20X power optical zoom – I’m right there in the action!! I have to redo the whales breaching and surfers in Puerto Vallarta!
  4. The camera has an amazing lens for close-ups!! The color, the detail, the clarity of the 72mm lens is unbelievable
  5. Smooth Slow recording is amazing! I use it a lot and now this camera records for 6 seconds! I was mesmerized watching my viewfinder while filming bees. I can’t wait to get the waves and surfers in Puerto Vallarta.

I wish I’d had this camera a couple years ago! WOW!!
