Our Take On Sony HVR-Z5P
The Sony HVR-Z5P Professional HDV PAL Camcorder comes with the HDV format so that you can record high definition pictures on typical MiniDV tapes. You can accomplish this by making use of the MPEG-2 compression method, which is very popular with many applications like DVDs and high-definition satellite television. It comes with the low dispersion glass 29.5 -590mm G-Lens, which features a 20x optical zoom as well as 3 built-in ND filters. You will like its iris, manual focus, and zoom, with a digital extender that makes it easier for you to boost the magnification by 1.5 x.
Hence, the lens can achieve a maximum of 30x digital zoom level. That is why it is an ideal camera for covering sports as well as other live events.
Also, this camcorder features the trademarked CinemaTone technology that boosts the effectiveness. The technology is available in two modes - CinemaTone Gamma and CinemaTone Color. The former helps in crushing black colors while the latter deepened color reproduction. Its Exmor technology guarantees optimum performance when shooting in areas with low lighting conditions. You can record images from the CMOS into tape using the typical 50i HDV format in 25p mode. You can play the tape back or edit it with the aid of a common HDV system.
Its minimum illumination stands at 1.5 Lux, hence, you can be certain of getting your shots right at all times to the amazement of your viewers.
