Sony HXR-MC50E arriving!

Sony's HXR-MC50E is on its way to us as we speak!

We have had more phone calls about this camcorder than any other since we opened shop!  Why?  The Sony HVR-A1E has always been one of our most popular camcorders and this new model looks set to take over its top spot.

Like the A1E, the MC50E can be used with or without the zoom mic and lens hood.  This means when you want the camera small, it can be.  Eagle eyed customers will note that there are no XLR inputs.  This is true but given most of our customers use either the on-board zoom mic or plug in a wireless mic kit (which you can do so with this model), we do not reckon it will be a deal-breaker.

The new lens gives a great wide angled view of 29.8mm.  We haven't tried it yet but we are assuming that our Century Optics wide lens adaptors should fit fine.

The sensor is big news as this uses the Exmor R technology we have already seen on the Z5E, Z7E and NX5E.  Put simply, it produces excellent performance in low light conditions (something that the A1E lacked).

Of course the greatest difference is NO TAPES!  Yes, the MC50E records in AVCHD format onto its internal 64gb flash memory (that's up to 6 hours at full HD mode).  Optional cards can also be provided to increase this.

With most NLE's now accepting AVCHD, this makes it far easier and quicker for transferring footage.  Please note - do check your system is capable of handling AVCHD files as they are a little processor hungry!

We already have pre-orders for hire so if you fancy trying this camera, please give us a call.
