Pre-Order the New PXW-X180 XAVC Camcorder
 

Sony is starting to make it apparent that XAVC is their do-it-all format of the future. They’re slowly introducing XAVC hardware on all levels. Today they revealed a new XAVC camera, the PXW-X180. So what the heck is it and what does it do? It’s a hand held ENG-style camcorder in a very similar body as the PXW-Z100 or, going back further, the NX5. It features 3x 1/3” 1080p CMOS sensors and a 25x zoom lens. The big feature of the camera is it’s format versatility. It’s primary format is XAVC, 10-bit, 100mbps, 4:2:2. But it can also record XDCam, 8-bit, 50mbps, 4:2:2. Or it can record AVCHD, 8-bit, 35mbps, 4:2:0. It records all of these formats to SxS memory cards.
