SONY CX 100 SUBSTITUTE

Recommended Posts

Hi friends,

My old sony CX 105 (european model of the CX 100) is dying.

Can you please give advice for what new camera buy??

As i see all new sony models has OIS wich sucks por Skydiving.

What Sony camera to buy nowadays.

Not Contour or Go pro (im filming commercial tandems)

I'd suggest the Sony CX105. I picked up a CX100 (I'm in the states) off ebay for $240, including a memory stick and an extra battery. Been shooting tandems with it all summer, and not a glitch or problem of any kind.

I haven't priced the GoPro, Contour, etc lately, but I think a used CX can be had for less than the price of those, and if (when) they get dropped, lost, broken, etc, it sucks that much less.

I like my CX150 because it supports SD memory cards (and also Sony cards).

It works well for filming tandems.

No problems with OIS. I would have to check if it's enabled or not.

As all Sony HD camcorders the performance in low light is average but it's never been a problem.

My old PC101E has finally packed up and I'm looking at HD replacement (filming 4 way mostly). Most advice is for the CX100 which I cannot find anywhere second hand (need PAL). I was also advised that CX150 is a good option but same story with no availability. I have been warned away from the CX130. I can find new CX110 at a reasonable price and wondered if anyone had anything good/bad to say about this model. I'd be using it mainly for 4 way filming
