My idea is to do some local news coverage, an amateur coverage. Some public events, documentary and nature film and stuff like these. I won’t be doing this everyday, it’s not my job. I won’t do weddings. Fast Hybrid AF with maximum 273 face-detection AF points for precision, high-speed auto-focus performance Wired LAN connection allows the PXW-Z90 to be connected to the Internet over a wired connection via the separately available VMC-UAM2 USB adapter cable and network adaptor kit (CBK-NA1), allowing files to be streamed or transferred by FTP XDCAM air can upload proxy footage to the cloud from multiple camera operators in the field, so editing can start immediately. Uploaded content can be accessed securely from any location. News teams can even start logging clips while shooting's still going on, saving even more valuable time when a story's breaking As well as a reduction in rolling shutter compared to other similar sensors, the ability to do more on chip image processing appears to bring other advantages as the noise levels from this camera are very low indeed.

As well as the side LCD panel there is also a small OLED electronic viewfinder on the rear of the camera. This is very useful for use in very bright sunlight, but it is rather small. XAVC QFHD : MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 4:2:0 Long profile, XAVC HD : MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 4:2:2 Long profile, XAVC Proxy : MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 4:2:0 Long profile, MPEG HD422 (CBKZ-SLMP required) : MPEG-2 422P@HL 4:2:2 Long profile, AVCHD : MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 AVCHD 2.0 format compatible Due to the NX5R price (USD 3400 here in Argentina) I started looking at the Sony HXR-NX100 (USD 2600). I must say I thought I have found it. I was almost convinced to buy it, but I read the negative comments: The PXW-Z90 comes with 5GHz* and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi as standard – simply turn on and log onto your preferred network to enable a host of advanced wireless production features: So, I found the PXW-Z150. But, again, disappointed by the negative comments about it, especially its bad performance in low light.RTMP/RTMPS live streaming supports sharing to major online video platforms such as YouTube Live, Facebook Live, Mudu.tv and more (with CBKZ-SLNW1 and V4 or higher firmware) Ajit – they are two such totally different cameras that the choice comes down to your purpose. For live events in reasonable light I’d probably choose the Z90 for it’s extended zoom range, XLR in, SDI out and wi fi capabilities. It’s also going to be a lighter weight and simpler kit as you won’t need anything much else but spare batteries and a tripod and a few cables. Perhaps a shoulder rig if you really want one but it’s not really that form factor. Think of it like a handheld ENG camera. Also has a screen which flips around for self shooting. XDCAM air can upload proxy footage to the cloud from multiple camera operators in the field, so editing can start immediately. Uploaded content can be accessed securely from any location. News teams can even start logging clips while shooting’s still going on, saving even more valuable time when a story’s breaking. The XAVC Long format uses the efficient MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 codec to achieve high quality imagery without increasing the level of required storage capacity. Its 4:2:2 10bit (Full HD mode) sampling process ensures detailed expression of tone and high colour reproduction. The XAVC Long format also supports the professional MXF standard. This means it can be easily used alongside any standard workflow, from a videographer working alone to a production environment sharing content across multiple users. What are the key advantages of using the XAVC S format? (NX80 only) So, now I’ve explained about my budget I’ll tell you about the models and brands I was reading about for the last 3 month (yes, is not easy, much money and most of the concepts I’ve found are new for me).

The PXW-Z90 comes with 5-GHz* and 2.4-GHz Wi-Fi as standard—simply turn on and log onto your preferred network to enable a host of advanced wireless production features: The sensor also gives you low noise and less blur because more light reaches the sensor, offering clear and steady pictures even in a dark scene with minimum illumination 1.7 lux. As well as bringing a nice improvement in image quality over the X70 (which is pretty good already) the new sensor brings a vastly improved autofocus system. There are 273 focus detection points which are combined with faster readout, faster on sensor processing and the same AF processing technology as used in the flagship Sony A9 stills camera. This brings a really remarkable autofocus system to this camera. The AF system is a newly developed hybrid system that combines phase detection AF with new algorithms created specifically for video rather than stills photography. At last this is an autofocus system that really works for a video camera. It is intelligent and responsive. There is no hunting for focus, it just seems to get on with the job.The cameras gain, shutter and iris functions each have a dedicated button on the side of the camera. One push of the appropriate button enables that function to be controlled by a small dial wheel just under the front of the lens.
