The details

With the Exmor R CMOS sensor, low light performance is enhanced, providing superior sensitivity and fantastic resolution. You'll find capturing detail, even in dimly lit conditions, effortlessly achievable. Coupled with a Carl Zeiss Vario Sonnar T* lens, the camera can zoom up to 12x optically, which is further expandable with the Clear Image Zoom and Digital Extender features. This broadens your scope, allowing you to get close to the action while maintaining an excellent picture quality.

Adding to its extensive feature set, the Sony PXW-X70 truly stands out with its breadth of recording format capabilities. From XAVC to AVCHD and DV file-based recording, the camcorder provides multiple options to suit your unique requirements. Notably, the PXW-X70's XAVC format uses the efficient MXF file format, compressing full HD resolution using the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 codec. Additionally, with built-in Wi-Fi control functionality, monitoring and remote control of the camcorder is a breeze.

The Sony PXW-X70 is more than just a video camera. It's a compact, lightweight, and adaptable professional tool, complete with dual SD memory card slots for backup, simultaneous, and relay recording.
