Johnnie Behiri is a freelance cameraman and editor working mostly for the BBC, National Geographic, Discovery Channel. He tested the Sony HX9v for Cinema5d (Click here). You may ask why the hell he tested a compact camera for video? Click the play button and you will see it. It may not be casual that this is the best sold Sony camera on Amazon US (Click here to see the ranking).

10 months ago |Yes, that has been my question too. Is it like a NEX-5 without ECM-SST1? Is it worse? Or is it much worse? Similar would be very great sound already for such a camera. BTW this steadycam look really was impressive and on their website they show even more samples…

Too bad they show almost video samples. I made some HD samples with previous model:
