Sony PXW-X70 4K Rental

Overview

The Sony PXW-X70 4K is in every way the same camera as the Sony PXW-X70 but this one has the 4K update installed on it, which enables 3840 x 2160 recording. It is a lightweight camcorder equipped with a 1" sensor (larger than Super 16-sized sensors) for a more cinematic-appearing depth of field compared to other camcorders of this form factor. It produces footage at up to a 150Mbps data rate that is suitable for broadcasting. You can simultaneously record onto two SD cards (cards not included) and do relay recording via the 3G-SDI and HDMI outputs. You can control this camcorder with WiFi using smartphones and tablets and the optional Content Browser Mobile app, which allows confirmation of shot angles and spot focus. The built-in lens features a 12x optical zoom with switchable ND filters. A digital extender allows you to zoom up to 48x. You can also record using Sony's Slow & Quick Motion settings for shooting at selectable frame rates. At just 3 lbs, including the XLR handle unit, this is a very compact camera ideal for travel and "small space" shooting.
