Sony PXW-X70 Professional XDCAM Compact Camcorder
Key Features
  • 1" Exmor R CMOS Sensor
  • HD Recording
  • Built-In SD Media Card Slots
  • Viewfinder & Flip-Out LCD Screen
Sony's PXW-X70 Professional XDCAM Compact Camcorder is about the same size as a conventional 1/3" professional compact camcorder, but it features a 1" type sensor, which is larger than a super-16 sized sensor and more than eight times the size of a 1/3" sensor. The larger Exmor R sensor size provides for more cinematic appearing depth of field than a 1/3" sensor is capable of and features a back-side illuminated design for improved low light performance. It features an integrated 12x optical zoom lens with a manual lens ring for zoom/focus control, and a three level switchable ND filter. The top handle incorporates two 3-pin XLR inputs for recording audio from XLR microphones.

Does anyone else have problems with the auto-focus on this camera? Mine seems to go in-and-out of focus for no reason, even while focused on a stationary object.
Asked by: John
I have had some minor problems with the auto-focus as well. It does seem to get "confused" at times, but so far, no major complaints.
