  • Offers great low-light capabilities especially important for camera operators who cannot control their ambient lighting, e.g. wedding videographers.
  • Lower power consumption than traditional CCD's.
  • 'Exmor' technology employed in the new CMOS processor reduces noise in the A/D process.

  • Further improves the progressive reproduction by both scanning and recording progressively.
  • Provides further flexibility of use. e.g. The camera can be used for a variety of applications from budget-movie making in 25p mode to standard interlace TV productions.
  • Offers camera operators the use of the progressive 'filmic look', coupled with gamma curve correction makes the camera ideal for movie production.

    Full Size HDV/DV/DVCAM cassette capability
