Sony FDR-X1000V/R

Yes I have one too - it's actually being replaced following a menu malfunction, but before it went wrong I was very impressed with the picture. I use ProDrenalin to correct the fish eye distortion when required.

I already have an AS15, an AS30 and an AS100, and use them often to get additional angles for some shoots, particularly stage and band performances. With the X1000V I'll be able to zoom in about 4 x and still have HD resolution.

I was looking at this action cam also but the fisheye and the low-light and extreme bright sensitivity is keeping me from making any purchase right now.

I'd be curious if anyone who has one has observed the low-light distortion and bright exposure issues?

I am thinking of getting the new x1000 as well. I also own 2 AS100s and 2 AS15 and ProDrenalin (ver. 1.072) and have had no issues with low-light (much better than my buddies NoPro)

BUT

are you / anyone having any issues with the exported ProDrenalin videos being out of sync with the sound and/or being very jittery? It is hit or miss when exporting video and I am now using SVP11 to remove the fisheye and adjust the color (proDAD tech support is useless).

For those who owns Sony action cam AS15. Where do you get the extra battery? I am having problem buying the correct one. Please send link if possible. Thanks

I have bought several from here:

The AS15, AS30, AS100 and X1000V all use the same X battery.
