if you want something that big, why don’t you buy a Reflex?

The G1X is better than the NEX 5…

See the noise…

And it’s not a bazooka.

I have not tried 29 min yet, but it should help with the overheating issues.
Thanks!

If you use an external monitor on the 5N can you fully get the 29 min? Can you average a couple of 15 min video shoots back to back with the external monitor?

Thx

Hi Jared;

Certainly is not a pro camera, but with this little wonder i finished 5 payed projects already, and in just one case i have the overheating issue, i do not recommended for long shots or run and gun situations, sadly Sony does not offer a better option than this even the Nex7 is not by much better to use for video than the 5n, i´m saving for the FS100 but i wish to buy another camera before, my fight is between Nex7, A65 and the GH2.

Thanks for sharing you experiences Jared.

Hi Jared, thanks for the post! The 5n is really a great b camera to the fs100. I find it matches the color gamut closer than any canon offerings. I’m surprised to hear about your overheating problems though. I’ve run my 5n for 30 minutes in a training video where the camera was suctioned cup high up out of reach, and again recently on a series of interviews. I ve never had the issue come up. (no external monitor neither) I wonder I’d there’s a setting that is causing it…or perhaps you simply have a bad unit?

How about some sample footage?
