Sony has in Japan, the new models HDR-FX1000 and HVR-Z5J presented. The era of HDV recording tape or camcorder is contrary to all calls Unken not yet come to an end: both take 1440x1080 HDV to tape and not on AVCHD. Furthermore, both models 3xCMOS 1 / 3 inch sensors, by manually adjustable focus ring, iris, zoom, 3.2 inch display with 921,000 pixel resolution (1.920x480) - just like the Sony HVR-Z7E or the SR11 and SR12 ), a 29,5 mm wide, a new, produced by Sony, Lens (Sony G Lens "), as well as three ND filters (like the Z7), 24p/30p/60i shooting (the Z5 further 25p/50i ), 20x optical zoom, as well as the ability to DV NTSC. The Z5 than the professional version is largely identical Cams is also the other PAL DV and DVCAM to have XLR inputs and can (just like the Sony Z7 with the HVR-MRC1) Sony HVR-mobile MRC1K Flash recorder as a recording device use but this is in contrast to those not included, and the Z5 is also no correlation optics. The Z5 can also simultaneously output different formats, like HDV to DV tape and record on Flash. Converted amounts to the price of the FX1000 in Japan in early November on the market will be 2600 Euro for the Euro Z5J 3550, release date December -- it is not yet known how soon the models will also be appearing in Europe. Here are some data to informed speculation about the final price to allow this: since February 2008 Sony Z7 was available in Japan for 735.000 yen (ie, converted in 4800 Euros) announced - the list price including VAT is around 7000 euros, the current street price starts at 5500 euros. The Flash Recorder HVR-MRC1K take HDV, DVCAM and DV to Flash memory - the recording on tape and flash can also be done simultaneously. Price: 630 euros - but it is not yet clear how far he is from the old model HVR-MRC1 differs. All specifications are subject to the European publication of the cameras - with regard to equipment and pricing there may be differences with the Japanese models. more infos at bei www.google.com
