1.0-Inch Type CMOS Compact Solid-State Memory Camcorder

Named a Readers’ Choice Award winner by Streaming Media Magazine, the Sony PXW-X70 HD422 handheld camcorder will help you take your videography to the next level. It features a 1.0-inch type Exmor R CMOS 20MP sensor, which is even larger than the Super 16mm film frame and delivers high resolution, excellent low-light performance, and greater depth-of-field control. The camcorder has the ability to record high-definition video in XAVC Long GOP, enabling 422 10-bit sampling at 50 Mbps to support the increasingly popular broadcast-quality workflow. The fixed ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* lens achieves 12x optical zoom, which can be doubled to 24x with clear image zoom and doubled again to 48 with digital zoom. Advanced features include Wi-Fi/NFC, dual media slots, simultaneous or relay recording, and independent record control.
