Sony HXR-NX70U NXCAM Compact Camcorder
Sonycontinues to raise the bar with the introduction of its rain- and dust-proof HXR-NX70U NXCAM Compact Camcorder. This rugged little trouperis the perfect companion for those tough location shoots where weather and climate cause lesser cameras to buckle and fold. Meeting stringent dustproof andrainproof requirements, the NX70U's sealed body keeps out all but the toughest of elements, making it ideal for documentary and news videographerstraveling to far-flung, unpredictable locations.
But beneath the NX70U's weatherproofing is a first-class performer that hits all the professional sweet spots. Its back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensorcombines with an ultra wide 26.3-263mm Sony G lens and Optical SteadyShot to provide outstanding full HD 1080p images even in low light. The Dual Recfunction, meanwhile, lets you shoot 12.3MP stills while recording video, all of which can be captured to the unit's spacious 96GB embedded flash memory oryour choice of Memory Stick or SD/SDHC media.
And just because the NX70U is small doesn't mean it stints on professional features and controls. An assignable lens ring gives you manual control overfocus, zoom, or iris, while the detachable handle with dual XLR inputs--and an on-camera shotgun mic--provides the option of recording 2-channel audiousing high-end external microphones. Helping you nail focus and exposure are the zebra and peaking indicators, which can be viewed through either the largeviewfinder or high-resolution 3.5" touchscreen LCD.
Documentarians in particular will find the built-in GPS receiver useful, as it allows you to "tag" your locations for logging and future reference, withall GPS data extractable to a PC and mappable via Google's mapping service. And if achieving a more cinematic look is your thing, then the camera offers24p recording to supplement its standard 60p, along with CinemaTone technology to provide realistic, film-like skin tones to your footage.
So step outside, grit your teeth against the rain and sand, and hit Record: the NX70U will capture the scene and live to tell the tale.
The ECM-XM1 shotgun microphone mounted on top of the handle provides audio recording performance similar to larger shoulder-mounted ENG stylecameras.
Additionally, the receiver automatically adjusts your camcorder's clock to the proper time zone when international travel is part of yourassignment.
