Editorial Reviews

HandsOn HDV is the essential DVD training video to help you master the fundamentals and advanced features of the Sony Z1 and FX1 camcorders.

HandsOn HDV takes anyone, from the novice to the experienced ENG/EFP shooter, through step-by-step, easy to understand instructions, examples, and tricks that are simple to put into practice, including detailed explanations of all the menus, every switch and button, what they do, and when to use them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Saves Time, Money, and Frustration, November 28, 2006
This review is from: HandsOnHDV: A Complete Guide to the Sony HVR-Z1U and HDR-FX1 Camcorders (DVD)
I was able to watch this video and learn the operation of the Z1U camera within mere hours, rather then spending days and weeks searching through manuals and messing around with settings. This allowed me to become proficient with the camcorder sooner and begin working on projects almost immediately.

The video was easy to understand and very well produced. Everything is step by step and shows you exactly what is going on. It contained alot of information on features that I may not used without watching this video.

I would recommend this video for anyone who wants to become an expert on the Z1U camera without spending days and weeks inside manuals and books. Was definately worth every penny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly Comprehensive Training DVD, November 28, 2006
This review is from: HandsOnHDV: A Complete Guide to the Sony HVR-Z1U and HDR-FX1 Camcorders (DVD)
I found this DVD to be extremely comprehensive in helping me learn about the HVR-Z1U and HDR-FX1. I wouldn't have learned as much about my Z1U if I hadn't bought this DVD. I have found no other training DVD that is this helpful. If your going to spend the money on the camera, the money for this DVD is well worth it. I learned a lot more about my camera then I ever would have.

These guys know how to make a training DVD.
I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in learning all they can about these cameras.
The more you know, the more you can do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Invaluable resource!, August 29, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: HandsOnHDV: A Complete Guide to the Sony HVR-Z1U and HDR-FX1 Camcorders (DVD)
At first I thought that perhaps this DVD was not that great, but then when I started using it as a reference calling up the chapters I needed greater knowledge on, it has proven its worth beyond a doubt. The best part is being able to see the visuals and stop the movie playback while I locate the spot on the camera and follow along. There are so many controls, switches and adjustments on my Sony ZiU but this DVD covers them all.
