The FDR-X1000’s image sensor has an effective resolution of around 8 megapixel. The resolution is somewhat below average but will be sufficient for most purposes. Photos with this resolution can easily be printed to A3 size. The Sony does not support recording RAW images.

Converting to JPEG or other formats takes place on the computeand involves one extra processing step but will almost always result in superior image quality. |
