I'm wondering if in dual mode when a photo is snapped will doing so cause the video to pause for a heartbeat?
thanks
HXR-MC50e new pro version of CX550
Re: HXR-MC50e new pro version of CX550
What makes you think of that? Do you currently have this kind of issue with another cam?
Re: HXR-MC50e new pro version of CX550
When recording to tape with the FX7 and HC1 and snapping a still photo there is no pause in video recording.
However the video does pause during the time of the snapped pix if the camcorders are not recording to tape but rather recording to an external device.
It's my understanding that The new generation of video dslr's suffer paused video when snapping a still but I have no first hand knowledge.
I need to shoot video and snap high resolution photos simultaneously through the same lense at (for example) figureskating competitions

I have XR520 (similar in design to CX550 and MC50) and i don't recall it pausing while taking a snapshot. It certainly doesnt interrupt the recording video.
Re: HXR-MC50 in stock
This particular question is very specific I think, and you'll probably need to wait for hands-on tests (or for someone who will own the HXR-MC50) to evaluate the exact behavior of the HXR-MC50 on that matter.halfpipe wrote:I'm wondering if in dual mode when a photo is snapped will doing so cause the video to pause for a heartbeat?

Sony HXR-MC50 review
Adam Wilt posted a full, solid review: Sony HXR-MC50 1-CMOS AVCHD Camcorder review. Check it out, it's a nice read!
There's one aspect missing though (that's dear to my heart): no review of color performance. Although the HXR-MC50 is portable, has sharp resolution, moderate aliasing, low noise and good low-light capability, I wouldn't dare switching to it without reasonable, factual assurance that it performs at least equally well compared to my 3-CMOS FX7 - both in color accuracy and in color contrast near edges.
