Sony HVR-Z7P HDV PAL Camcorder
- Price: $6,095.00
- Free Shipping (USA)
- In Stock
This is a PAL camera. It is not compatible with USA/NTSC TV systems.
The Sony HVR-Z7P HDV PAL Camcorder is a PAL HDV handheld camcorder featuring a lens mount. Previously unheard of for such a compact unit, the HVR-Z7P incorporates the convenience of a handheld camcorder with the flexibility of larger ENG cameras.
The camera can also record directly to compact flash cards, via the camera's supplied memory recording unit. Combined with Sony's entire family of HDV products, the HVR-Z7P is a great camcorder for almost any production, including documentaries, news, low-budget movies, music videos, and industrials.
- Interchangeable Lenses
- Users get the best of both worlds with this innovative camcorder. The HVR-Z7P's unique design is the first of its kind; a handheld camera with interchangeable lens capability. Whether you are filming a movie or shooting a documentary, the HVR-Z7P has it covered.
- ClearVID 3CMOS Technology
- Sony's ClearVID sensors are positioned at a 45° angle. Since each pixel is positioned at this angle the result is far clearer diagonal lines. Images will appear crisper, without the apparent "jaggies" that often plague video signals.
- Record to Compact Flash
- The camera comes with an attachable recording unit, allowing users to record HDV and DV to CompactFlash cards. With cards getting larger and larger in capacity, the ability to take advantage of tapeless workflow while still using cheap media is a welcome addition.
- High Definition on MiniDV Tapes with HDV
- The HDV format, used in the HVR-Z7P allows high definition recording on standard MiniDV tapes. This is accomplished by using the very popular MPEG-2 compression technique used in many applications, including DVDs and satellite television.
- HDMI Output
- Many consumer products are adopting High Definition Media Interface (HDMI) connections for transmitting uncompressed digital HD video signals. Sony has upped the ante by incorporating this into the already extensive array of video output choices on the HVR-Z7P. Connect the camera to any HDTV via this interface and view all your footage the way it was meant to be seen: purely digital!
