So the lenses are NOT interchangeable? Does the camera shoot 1080 60P video?

This camera is like a very glorified point and shoot. But it goes way beyond that. It has all the capabilities of a much higher end camera with interchangeable lenses. This camera doesn't really need to change lenses. It's range is from 28mm through 700mm. What would you change the lens out to? You will not be unhappy with this camera as it has many very high end features. This camera is mirrorless. Think about it, what do you need through the lens viewing for anymore when you have constantly "on" CCD chips. The design of this camera is actually way ahead of its time. Eventually you will see the high end camera makers going mirrorless. It is only a matter of time. I used to be a professional industrial photographer and always used Nikon camera. I just ditched my Nikon for this unit. As far as video goes, yes it does shoot 1080P HD video. However, the quality is OK, not great, but OK. You will get much better results with an actual HD camcorder. I use a moderately priced Canon camcorder that shoots better video. But on the fly, you can still shoot good video with this camera if you don't happen to have your video camcorder with you. Sometimes it is just too much to carry everything. Depends on what your project is. I bought this camera solely for shooting high quality photos. And it does that very well. I am 100% pleased with my purchase.

I have no idea. Although we still have the camera, it is currently with my colleague in California. Sorry.

No the lenses are not interchangeable. There is 1 super zoom lens that goes from about 24mm to 720mm I believe (can't remember the exact range). And and the camera does shoot in 1080 @ 30fps

Compatible in what sense? It is an older camera model but the images it takes are still jpgs.

No, it is not a DSLR camera. There is only one lens and it's not interchangeable.

Yes.it has the front filter threads that allow the attachment of various filters and wide converter lens and others available, but you cannot physically "change the lens".It does have specific camera settings and buttons for 24p native and cinema Style recording (with various filters), and clips can be rendered in 24.

The capacity of the lens is not enough to capature video or photos. If u r not looking for quality then may be fit for you.

i'd suggest searching you tube/vimeo for the handful of clips f/tm700 that were shot in 1080p/24 cinema mode and the HA 1080i mode...judge for yourself if the quality is good enough...if you have at least a dual-core computer 2.0-3.0 ghz you should be ok power wise.

the lens is not interchangeable but does have a wide format and is excellent for social situations and landscapes. The primary reason to buy this camera is that it has excellent night shot capabilities and huge storage capacity. The prices are very high even for used models and represent quite an investment so buy with care for if there is something wrong with the camera you are out a ton of money.

Hi Eric, Sony DSCRX1 Camera is not an interchangeable lens camera. -Vincent

I looked at the camera menu, and it appears it is capable of shooting NTSC (US) and PAL (Canada & Europe) video. I've never tried video, so I have no idea about the results. The instructions I got were not in English, so I downloaded and printed my manual, since I haven't 'Video'd' I have no clue how to set it up. If my memory serves me, the lenses are the the same as the older Canon EOS digitals, and even earlier Canon 35mm film cameras. The lenses we have for 'my' camera are from our first Canon 35mm film camera, and work as good as they did with it. We have 3 lenses, one is for wide angle scenes, one for 'mid range' pix and the third is relatively long lens that we use for 'almost telephoto' pictures. That's the draw-backs, for differences in distance, the lens must be changed for detail. One of my friends had an adapter for the his telescope eye-piece that would adapt the camera to his 1500 mm telescope tube. Now that was a telephoto lens. Do what you will, I like my 20D just fine. It has a masculine feel to it, it fits well in work worn hands. The function buttons must be touched on purpose to change the function of what you want to do. I bought a new Canon for my wife. It was what she wanted, and in her internet research, it was what she wanted. It is all, and more than she wanted. I love the way the camera takes pictures, but the function buttons are so sensitive that I find I change functions when that isn't my intention. However it takes AWESOME Pictures. The 20D is an amazing camera, and cost about a sixth of the price. Buy the lens if you will, shoot your videos, but remember, let me know how they turn out.

No, it onl;y shoots 1080i, but all you will need to do is deinterlace the source when editing, which will in turm make it 720P.

The question is not specific enough. I get wonderful video quality at highest resolution 1080p, with this camera and very happy with it. make sure your flash card is fast enough for Hi resolution recording.

No, there isn't. Have to buy one of two cameras that are compatible... both $50-$100.

No! Both cameras definitely have to be identical, and I think for this setup they both have the be twos.

Beware the Sony "cineframe" options -- they look terrible. I have a Sony HC3 and while it's a fine little camera in 1080i 60i mode, the pseudo-24p stuff looks awful. The HV20 promises TRUE 24fps recording, plus a cinematic gamma curve, plus OIS, plus manual audio level controls, plus better lowlight performance. I wasn't even planning on buying a new camera, but I'm buying an HV20. At $1099, it's a great deal!

I'm sorry, but I couldn't get 2 different cameras of the same model to work at all. On this camera, refurb was not the way to go for me.

Not at all. I bought one of these and it came in an original Sony box with all the equipment listed in the manual. The lens is not a detachable one and should be quite secure to the front of the camera. I would return it right away for a replacement. I love this little camera. The motion reduction system is fantastic and that you can record at 24p is great (24p will give your videos a more movie like quality to them.) The camera is a little small for my hands but you get use to that fairly quickly. Return what you have. It does not sound right at all. Good luck.

i use to have an old lens with a new camera, it was compatible but the pictures didn´t seem correct.
