Sony PXW-Z280 1/2" 3CMOS 4K 50P Handheld Camcorder, 17x zoom product description

Professional 4K HDR Performance

The Sony PXW-Z280 sets a new benchmark for handheld image quality. Featuring a sophisticated 1/2-type 3CMOS Exmor R sensor, this camcorder delivers broadcast-standard 4K resolution with a deep depth of field. By capturing red, blue, and green light independently, it achieves high sensitivity of F12 and a wide dynamic range, ensuring lifelike textures and superior color reproduction even in challenging lighting conditions.

Advanced 17x Zoom and Precision Optics

Equipped with a 17x professional HD zoom lens, the PXW-Z280 covers a focal range from 30.3mm to 515mm (35mm equivalent). To provide professionals with tactile control, the lens features three independent rings with end-stops for manual adjustment of focus, zoom, and iris. This allows for faster, more intuitive operation during fast-paced shoots.

Revolutionary Networking and 12G-SDI

Stay ahead in the IoT era with world-class connectivity. The PXW-Z280 is the first camcorder to feature Dual Link Cellular capability, doubling uplink performance for remote broadcasts. The inclusion of 12G-SDI enables 12Gbps content transfer over a single cable, making it four times faster than standard 3G-SDI and ideal for high-bitrate 4K workflows.

Intelligent Autofocus and Variable ND

Never miss a shot with Face Detection AF. Choose between Face Priority and Face Only modes to ensure your subject remains in pin-sharp focus while you frame the scene. Additionally, Sony's ground-breaking Electronic Variable ND Filter allows for linear exposure control from 1/4ND to 1/128ND, enabling you to adjust depth of field without affecting gain or shutter speed.

Versatile Broadcast Formats

The PXW-Z280 supports a wide array of production formats to fit any professional environment. From high-quality XAVC Intra and Long GOP to broadcast-standard MPEG HD422 and legacy DVCAM, this camcorder provides the flexibility needed for newsgathering, documentaries, and corporate video production.
