Sony's portfolio of professional movie cameras has expanded with this new lightweight PXW-Z180 Profi model with a compact and ergonomic design that allows more comfortable recording. This large-format digital movie camera is equipped with three 1/3" Exmor R CMOS sensors and records video in Full HD resolution (1920 × 1080).
Size does matter, and this old adage holds true even for the sensor of this Sony camera. It features three 1/3" Exmor R CMOS sensors, which were developed specially for professional use and provide high resolution, high sensitivity, and wide dynamic colour range. That means you can record with minimal background noise even in poor lighting conditions.
This professional Sony camera allows you to shoot documentaries, films, TV commercials, and much more. The camera records in XAVC codec, AVCHD, and DV in 35Mbps. Video can be recorded on two SD/SDHC/SDXC or SxS cards simultaneously, as the camera is equipped with two memory card slots. Its compact size and light weight mean you can use it as a hand-held camera, allowing you to shoot in tight spaces and from various angles. The viewfinder can be quickly and smoothly adjusted to different recording conditions. If the viewfinder is not enough, you can use the 3.5" screen.
Wi-Fi support allows you to transfer your videos to smart devices or upload them to social media and clouds. You can also use wireless smart devices to remotely control the settings of the camera and recording functionality. The camera is equipped with GPS and NFC and its fixed G Lens with 26mm-wide angle has a 25x zoom range.
Sony Corporation is a Japanese company founded in 1946. Its headquarters is located in Tokyo. Its beginnings were humble. The first product sold under the Sony brand was a transistor radio. It was those radios that played a pivotal role in the company's expansion in the 1960s and the world quickly began to associate Sony products with a reliably stellar price-performance ratio.
In the 1970s, Sony was severely affected by the global economic crisis. Many analysts considered the company effectively defunct and could see no future for it. However, they underestimated the famous Japanese perseverance and courage. The crisis was not a disaster for Sony; on the contrary, it served as a launching pad to even greater heights. The company recovered and soon changed the media landscape with the development of the CD and later the DVD. In the early 1990s, Sony achieved another major success with the introduction of the PlayStation gaming console. It is the gaming consoles that best represent the intersection of the three key areas in which the company operates today – electronics, video games, and the entertainment industry.
