Use the Sony Monitor & Control app to view your capture using your smartphone or tablet.
1" Exmor RS CMOS Sensor
The HXR-NX800's 1.0"-type Exmor RS CMOS sensor uses its stacked design to provide optimal image quality, faster readout speeds, and excellent low-light performance. It produces extraordinary 4K imagery using 5K oversampling with full-pixel readout.
Longer 20x Optical Zoom
Capture views ranging from close-ups to wide angles in tight interiors using the 20x G-series zoom equivalent to a 35mm full-frame 24-480mm. Tap the Clear Image Zoom function to expand the zoom range to 30x in 4K and 40x in HD.
BIONZ XR Processing
The latest BIONZ XR TM image processor enables higher frame rates, faster autofocus, improved ATW control, and excellent noise reduction. Extracting maximum performance from the high-resolution image sensor lets you capture the most subtle textures and finest detail. 5K oversampling with full-pixel readout condenses ample image information into stunning UHD 4K60 video.
Advanced AI-Assisted Autofocus
  • The HXR-NX800's AI-assisted deep learning provides precise human-subject recognition.
  • With 81% coverage, its Fast Hybrid autofocus system offers better support for both Subject Recognition AF and Real-Time Tracking.
Auto Framing
Reliably keep track of your subjects using the Auto Framing function, which automatically recognizes human forms and adjusts the frame to keep your subject centered. Especially handy for solo shooters, Auto Framing mimics manual capture while letting you engage with your subject.
Flexible Frame Rates
Record up to UHD 4K60 video and high frame rates of up to UHD 4K120 and 1080p HD at 240 fps. Slow motion rates include 4x at 4K30 and 5x at 4K24p with high-speed autofocus to keep your subject sharp.
Pro Broadcast and Film Looks
  • Presets for S-Cinetone, ITU709, 709tone, HLG Live, HLG Mild, and HLG Natural can be further tweaked with black, matrix, and other adjustments.
  • The HXR-NX800's content can be color-matched with footage from other Sony broadcast and Cinema Line cameras.
Full Auto Mode
When the action gets too hectic, you can simply switch to a fully automatic mode with a single switch. Auto settings include ND, Iris, Gain, Shutter, and White Balance modes.
Built-In Variable ND Filter
  • The HXR-NX800 incorporates a variable ND filter function.
  • Provides a wide 1/4 to 1/128 ND range. 
  • Use it to seamlessly adjust your exposure with the twist of a dial.
Easy File Transfers
The HXR-NX800 lets you upload proxy and original clips straight from a memory card to a cloud or FTP server. Transfer files automatically when each recording stops after registering the destination server in the camera. You can even record proxy clips in segments and transfer them sequentially during recording. The optional, paid Creator's Cloud for Enterprise C3 Portal application makes cloud transfers easy with even quicker availability of video files for editing and sharing.
Connectivity
This camcorder's interface includes HDMI, USB-A, USB-C, LAN, REMOTE, and additional connectors.
Live Streaming
  • Stream directly from the camera using Wi-Fi or via a wired Ethernet connection.
  • You can stream to compatible platforms using RTMP/RTMPS and SRT protocols.
Advanced White Balance
The HXR-NX800's ATW (Auto-Tracing Balance) offers improved performance, even in shaded areas.
Advanced Image Stabilization
Built-in image stabilization minimizes camera shake, giving you the smoothest footage possible. Active Mode stabilization uses both optical and electronic elements to make your handheld shots look like you used a gimbal.
OLED Viewfinder and 3.5" LCD
  • The HXR-NX800 offers an OLED viewfinder and a 3.5" articulated LCD for monitoring your capture.
  • The high-contrast OLED EVF provides a clear 2.36MP view while blocking ambient light.
  • The LCD can be positioned for the best view, and it comes with a sun hood.
Recording Options
A choice of recording options means you can select the best solution for each project you capture. Choose XAVC S-I for the highest quality, post-friendly 10-bit 4:2:2 4K (QFHD) recording using Intra-Frame H.264. XAVC HS-L (H.265) and XAVC S-L (H.264) provide a choice of 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 with Long GOP recording for extended recording times and file-saving efficiency. XAVC HS enables the recording of smaller proxy files (up to 16 Mbps) for previewing and editing.
Dual Memory Card Slots
The XHR-NX800 provides two memory card slots compatible with both CFexpress Type A and SD cards.
Wireless Remote Control and Monitoring
  • Use the built-in Wi-Fi connectivity with the Monitor & Control app.
  • Check your framing and monitor, and adjust camera controls.
4-Channel Audio
Combine the MI (multi-interface) shoe and XLR connectors to record up to four channels of audio. Audio dials let you quickly adjust levels for two channels without needing to scroll through a menu tree.
Sony Battery Power
Like many other Sony cameras, the XHR-NX800 camcorder uses BP-U35, BP-U70, or BP-U100 packs, enabling you to use your existing supply of batteries.

Sony HXR-NX800 Reviews

Awesome but one major flaw

By Donald
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2026-05-01

This camera is perfect for what I do for filming RC Airplanes. The zoom range and video quality is very good. I can get far out shots and close up shots. However when using the built in stabilization and tracking fast moving aircraft with aggressive zooming and movements the stabilization causes a frame skip/ issue that noticeablely affects my video. It looks like in 1 frame that whole image shifts to the left or right substantially. I spent $1800 to an official Sony Repair shop in NY for repairs where they replaced parts in the camera two separate times. I only found out after buying this camera brand new a second time that it was caused by the stabilization which I now turn off. Really wish the stabilization worked because I need all I can get. Awesome camera but my experience with Sony support has been less then Awesome...

Overall a good camera with 1 major issue

By Robert
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2025-10-01

I’ve been very pleased with this camera. The variable ND filter is a game changer. The zoom range is more than adequate. I wish they would add more subjects for a autofocus tracking. My biggest issue is this camera is marketed as being able to shoot slog 3. Yes it can shoot slog 3 but sony is no doubt aware the video it produces is unusable because of the noise.Shooting Slog 3 on the alpha line is a joy to grade, I’d rather have a root canal then grade one slog3 clip from the NX800. Overall I’m pleased whit the camera but disappointed by Sony saying this camera can do log shooting.
