Sony HVR-Z7E
HDV-Handheld-Camcorder with interchangeable lens
The HVR-Z7E is the world’s first HDV handheld camcorder
with an interchangeable lens system, native progressive
recording, and solid-state memory recording.
A variety of video lenses can be attached to the HVRZ7E,
which is equipped with a universal standard 1/3-inch
bayonet mount mechanism for the quick changing of
lenses.
Added to this a streamlined nonlinear editing workflow
can be achieved using the supplied memory-recording
unit, which provides HDV/DVCAM/DV file recording on a
standard CompactFlash® solid-state memory card. This
offers customers varying levels of flexibility and hybrid operation
which is becoming an important requirement in
video production.
The HVR-Z7E also features 25p HDV native progressive
recording mode and HDMI output.
This new handheld Camcorder further enhances the operational
versatility of the Sony professional HDV lineup,
and opens up a world of possibilities for high-definition digital
video production. Whether it’s for documentaries,
general TV production, low-budget movies, music videos,
IPTV, education, or a wide range of corporate and event
videography applications, Sony’s new HVR-Z7E is ideal.
