UPDAITED Sony PVX-FS7 – Accessories by ARRI Coming soon
Sony is showing its newly improved XDCAM range of cameras, including the recently shipping PXW-FS7, PXW-X200 and PXW-X70 models. The FS7, in particular, has attracted “massive interest,” according to Robbie Fleming, product marketing manager, Sony Professional Solutions. “It’s been amazing. We have a lot of back orders.” The X200 is also much in demand. “We can’t make enough of them.” The Super35 sensor FS7 is now available with the new 28-135mm lens (as a package – the FS7K). “It comes across asa really good, all-round camera for freelance work, because it’s very versatile. It can give a cinematic look or run and gun,” said Fleming. Being connected is also a key
attraction. “All our cameras are now wireless,” he added, but they aren’t all yet 4K, as there is still a large market for HD. “The 4K ability is only one part of the attraction of the FS7. It also records 180fps slow motion on board,” at up to 600Mbps, and its lightweight shoulder-mounted form factor is also appealing.
The ARRI PCA accessories for the Sony PXW-FS7 will be available from February 2015.
The X200 has three 1/2- inch Exmor CMOS sensors, 17x zoom lens, MPEG HD422 (50Mbps) recording, two SxS media slots for simultaneous recording, a versatile new Multi-Interface (MI) Shoe and GPS data recording. The 4K-ready X70 is the smallest XDCAM professional camcorder, using a mid-size 1-inch type Exmor R sensor, recording 10-bit 4:2:2 HD in XAVC Long GOP, at 50Mbps. Also new is the ENG-style PXW-X500, with its three 2/3- inch CCD sensors, which can deliver 1080p at up to 120fps. ( – )
