But what did you buy leh ?

Got the CX900 for SGD1850. Quite pleased with the low-light performance.
Not as good as RX10 but better than my NX30 and NX70. Will be using CX900 mainly as a podium cam.
First impressions-
Pros:
Much more direct button access for manual functions compared to NX30/70
balanced audio input via XLR adapter
monitor remotely and control via smartphone
50mbs XAVC

Cons:
Autofocus is slooowwww.
no AV out.
no LANC port.
no standard cold shoe.

Congrats on your new toy!
How much is the AX100?

There's a new firmware --

Hope it will improve the autofocus speed.

 

[Bamboopictures]

Thanks very much for the link!! Much improved AF now.

The AX100 was south of 2500.

 

[mcmxcii]

Glad to know the firmware worked.

"South of $2,500"... may I know what's the exact amount?

 

[Bamboopictures]

Sorry bro. $2400-2500. I can't recall the exact the figure.

 

[JacePhoto]

Wow! Congrats! Have fun! Review pls!

 

[mcmxcii]

Thanks. So it's still cheaper than Sony store's asking price of $2,699.

Did anybody noticed the replacement for the NX70 in the rotating glass enclosure?
Apparently the changes are:
1" sensor
Should be just 1080p and no 4k.
(roughly) 11x zoom
Constant f2.8 throughout
XAVC codec
3 step ND filter!
Duo SD slot and no internal HDD.

OMG! If the specs are true, I'll have to leylong both my NX70 and CX900 in record time. Was the XLR handle displayed also?

 

[beachbum]

Hmm... Don't think I am supposed to
comment on release date. But I did tell the rep that these specs are worth waiting for!
Pricing also in NX 70 range.
Yes, since its a replacement for nx70, the XLR handle is there.
