The all-new Full HD camera with SONY NXCAM memory card recording will be available soon!
The new model is based on the HVR-Z5E, from which it takes roughly the size, weight, basic controls as well as the 20x SONY G Lens. The new camera features a 3x 1/3 Exmor CMOS Sensor with ClearVid technology and records in AVCHD with 24Mbps bitrate. The NXCAM series camera is capable of recording Full HD video at 1920x1080p as well as 720/50p and MPEG-2 SD format. Like the HVR-Z5, the new NXCAM camera offers Hybrid recording to Memory Stick Pro Duo memory cards as well as an optional and removable 128GB flash drive on which the camera is capable of recording up to 11 hours of footage
In addition to high-speed USB input/output, the camera includes HDMI, YUV, composite and HD/SD-SDI output. As a novelty, the camera also includes a GPS module that can accurately record the position and add it to the metadata of individual clips (Geotagging)
The camera does not have a set price yet and estimated availability is early 2010
