At IBC, Sony has introduced two 4K handheld professional camcorders with AI-based subject recognition autofocus, tracking, and auto framing. The HXR-NX800 NXCAM and PXW-Z200 XDCAM have 1in CMOS sensors, a new 20x optical zoom lens, variable neutral-density (ND) filters, and assignable lens rings.
The new lens covers 24mm wide angle to 480mm telephoto with a maximum aperture of F2.8-F4.5. The models can achieve 30x (4K) and 40x (HD) zoom with no noise using Sony’s Clear Image Zoom technology. Both cameras have new foldable viewfinders, removable microphone holders, and foldable 3.5in LCD monitors.
The €3000 HXR-NX800 and €3750 PXW-Z200 record up to 4K 60p/120p in XAVC HS, XAVC S, XAVC SI, and XAVC HS Proxy (up to 16 Mbps). The Z200 includes SDI (up to 12G) and TC I/O and will also support XAVC (MXF) recording through a firmware update expected in summer 2025. Both offer streaming via RTMP/RTMPS or SRT.
