All students taking Aesthetics of the Moving Image this fall will have the privilege to try out our new fleet of handheld cameras – the Sony PXW-X70.
The Sony X70 is about the same size as a conventional 1/3″ professional compact camcorder, but it features a 1″ type sensor, which is larger than a super-16 sized sensor and more than eight times the size of a 1/3″ sensor. It features an integrated 12x optical zoom lens with a manual lens ring for zoom/focus control, and a three level switchable ND filter. The top handle incorporates two 3-pin XLR inputs for recording audio from XLR microphones.
Stop by and take a look at these new cameras. And stay tuned for more updates on equipment coming to the cage this fall.
