They may work but the results will not be HD. Century and Raynox both make pretty good lenses for HD cameras. You'll need new batteries and remotes.

I'm guessing you're using a CamEye on the PC330, correct? I don't think that will work on the CX100. You'll need to get a HypEye D. Especially seeing there is no external On switch on the CX100 unless you flip open the view screen. The HypEye will turn it on for you as well as being an indicator. Welcome back to video!!!

I saw a really pretty RED one on my website http://www.amazon.com/Sony-HDR-CX150-Definition-Handycam-Camcorder/dp/B0031RGL0M/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1269493859&sr=8-2 Do the HypEye D and the lenses Bill mentioned work on the CX 150? Next who makes a box to keep it nice and purty and not muched on the top of the door of the freakin otter as I try to get out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites DSE 3 #9 March 25, 2010 Boxes from Cookie, Tonfly, and Bonehead are available, plus a few boutique/special boxes here and there. Best one I've seen was made from an electrical junction box. HypEye D controls the camera; only way to fly, IMO. Yes, it controls the 150 as well. Lenses Bill mentioned work on it too. Small correction point, you can use older, SD lenses on the HD camcorders and you'll still have an HD image, but you'll have lost so much resolution due to the glass mismatch and optical quality that it'll be soft like an SD image in an HD stream. Your soft image will be stunningly soft.

There is no mini jack on the CX100 that a Cameye will even plug into. At the very least you would have to get an A/V plug for the CX100 ($) before doing anything electronically. I can't imagine it being worth the time or effort when the Hypeye D is available.

I've had good luck with the Century .5 (43mm thread) lens; it's a nice lens and it's not that big, and for a single element lens it looks pretty good. Only drawback is that you can't zoom through it. The Raynox HD-3030 is close to a .5 on the CX100 and gives you gorgeous video, but it's bigger, heavier and more expensive.
