Sony DSC-HX9V and DSC-TX10 Comparison
Sony DSC-HX9V and DSC-TX10 Comparison Video Clips. Duration : 5.15 Mins.
A rough video comparison between the (2) new Sony cameras in various conditions. Note that in my motion test, I intentionally lowered the volumes to concentrate more on the image stabilizers for both cameras. Also, because YouTube limits video uploads to 30 fps, both cameras were set using the mp4 setting, not AVCHD at 60 fps. In conclusion, there is very little difference (in my own eyes and ears) between the cameras. It's more a matter of what feature set you need for a given situation. Still photos were also nearly indistinguishable at "Intelligent Auto" setting. One thing to note - As shown on the karaoke low light test, both cameras struggled to record low bass at relatively high volume levels without distortion. This can become a consideration if you plan on using either of these cameras for live concerts. I have found this to be a common characteristic of any video camera that uses mp4 or AVCHD format due to their aggressive compression standards even at the highest bit rate setting of the cameras. If you are into listening to your footage on a higher end audio system (ie home theater), you will be disappointed compared to the less compressed audio recording formats such as MPEG 2 and .mov.

Quadraphonic Front/Rear Comparison of Pink Floyd's 'The Dark Side of the Moon' by Alan Parsons
Quadraphonic Front/Rear Comparison of Pink Floyd's 'The Dark Side of the Moon' by Alan Parsons Tube. Duration : 17.95 Mins.
I simply cannot express how amazing it is to be completely immersed in this album. For me, It's like hearing it for the first time, times ten. Mastering engineer, Alan Parsons took full advantage of the Quad format, by ping-ponging sound effects, and the crazed laughter around you. On 'Us and Them', the echos circle around you, rotating the sound field each verse. If you have the proper equipment, and the source material, I urge you to experience it for yourself. I recommend experiencing this with four full range speakers and a Quad receiver, but any DTS capable home theater receiver will also do the job. Even with bookshelf/satellite speakers and a subwoofer. This unreleased (at the time) Alan Parsons Quad mix has been available since 2006, via a pirated copy supposedly made from the master tapes. As of September 27 2011, you can legally acquire this Quad mix in DTS form via; "The Dark Side Of The Moon - Immersion Box Set" on disc 3 www.amazon.com . I'm not sure if it's 4.1 (for people who do not have full range speakers, and rely on a sub for handling bass). Equipment used in video: Kenwood KR-8340 Quadraphonic receiver Four Sansui AS-200 3-way acoustic suspension speakers Audio is fed to the receiver using an HP desktop, using the front/rear outputs of the 5.1 soundcard. Asus laptop is used to control the HP Computer, and serve as a monitor, keyboard and mouse, via windows remote desktop. Sony Vegas Pro 10, is what I used so that you can see the front/rear waveforms ...
