The Sony HXR-NX5U camcorder is the first product of the Sony NXCAM generation. Once again Sony has surpassed all of its competitors and the NX5 is considered the market leader in the new era of tapeless cameras. Using the advanced AVCHD format, the Sony NX5 offers enhanced long duration recording on cheap and convenient memory cards. The Sony HXR-NX5U has changed the way footage is captured in an expanding and demanding market, changing the standards once again whilst firmly remaining the number one choice for semi-professional and professional film makers around the world.

Simultaneous hybrid recording is available in HD and SD formats in addition to giving the user the option of using the HXR-FMU128 flash memory unit which can capture up to 128GB of data. In any format, the state-of-the art G lens ensures that captured footage is of the quality demanded in this industry. With three Exmor CMOS sensors and a ClearVid array, the revolutionary sensor system realises high resolution, high sensitivity, a wide dynamic range and unbeatable reproduction standards, regardless of the codec.

The global positioning system (GPS) locator allows satellite navigation statistics to be recorded directly onto footage for reference or posting on popular internet mapping systems.

It is now taken for granted from this manufacturer, but yet again Sony has produced a standard of video quality with the NX5 that is unsurpassed in the industry and that other manufacturers struggle to emulate.

• Wide angle 20x Sony G-Lens for capturing fine detail
• Built-in GPS
• The optional HXR-FMU128 flash HDD records for up to 11 hours

The camera delivers outstanding quality but who is the Sony NX5 camcorder aimed at? It is aimed at a somewhat varied marketplace including those who are currently using cameras such as Sony’s own Z5. Primarily the Sony NX5 is for film makers who want to move over from a tape format to an affordable and reliable solid-state system.

Amateur enthusiasts stepping up from consumer camcorders, wedding videographers, corporate video producers, SIV (Special Interest Videos) producers, independent low-budget filmmakers, and even TV engineering work and various documentary productions.

The Sony NX5 not only emulates but surpasses any other camcorder in its class.

“I believe that this is the best camcorder available for under £4,000. Nothing else compares. Sony has produced the perfect balance with the NX5” Nigel Cooper DVUser Magazine
