CX 150 replacement
Can't Post
My CX 150 finally died Best Buy is willing to replace it with a another CX or another similar model. I understand the 150 is the last of the great ones, but is there anything that come can come reasonably close? Thanks.
I was at best buy the other day and was looking at the new sonys. There is one on there new cameras that still accepts a external lens that is like the cx models. But they did do away with it on the others they had there
CX760 would be the US model of the CX730. I bought one but I haven't jumped it yet. It has a 53mm? lens thread, but I think it is going to be wide enough without wide angle lenses. I do need to get a filter for it though.

Trunk has a page somewhere showing how to add threads to the CX190 series (think it's up to like the 230?). That's my current back up plan if mine die. Off to a meeting, but will try to find the link.
No OIS, really small, and like 300 bucks. Seems like a good play if you add the threads (epoxy and step up rings and a little tinkering).

Does anyone have any experience with the Sony CX410 in skydiving? I've found some reviews which suggest it's an okay camera and a little bit of footage, but none of it is skydiving related and none of it are direct comparisons with other cameras.
I'm looking for a camera that offers a step upwards on video quality as compared to the various action cameras available. The CX730 mentioned above looks awesome, but that one is no longer sold and the EUR 1.000 price tag is a bit outside the range I am looking for.
I'm also wondering how the video quality of the CX410 compares to the Gopro Hero 3, as they are roughly in a similar price range.
The CX410 has Balanced Optical SteadyShot (BOSS). The DZ.COM thread on the CX730 http://www.dropzone.com/...;;page=unread#unread, which also has the BOSS system, suggests that it works well for skydiving. Has anyone else tested this?
