Key Specs
- Effective Pixels: 10 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
General
- Product Name: XDCAM PXW-X70 HD Flash Memory Camcorder
- Brand: Sony
- Model Number: 1 year
- Color: Multi
Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Digital Zoom: 48x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- Optical Zoom: 12x (The optical zoom uses a combination of lenses that magnify the image prior to it being registered at high resolution by the imaging sensor.)
- Image Stabilization: Optical (This feature helps reduce image/video blur or distortion that may occur from unsteady motion.)
- Image File Format(s): JPEG (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
Focus
- Auto/Manual Focus: Automatic
- Focus Modes: Automatic
Exposure Control
- Maximum Aperture: f/4.5 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)
- Maximum Focal Length: 111.6 millimeters (The maximum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The greater the focal length, the smaller the area of scene captured.)
- White Balance Modes: 2300K - 15000K (100K steps), 3200K, 5600K (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
- Effective Pixels: 10 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
Lens
- Minimum Focal Length: 9.3 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)
Display
- Display Type: LCD
- Screen Size: 3.5 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
- Aspect Ratio: 16:9 (The measurement of the width of a screen compared to the height of a screen, expressed as a ratio.)
- Varying Angle Screen: true (The camera's screen can be flipped out and adjusted to rotate, tilt, and/or swivel.)
Video
- Video Encoding Formats: DV, AVCHD, XAVC (The process of preparing the video for output, where the digital video is encoded to meet proper formats and specifications for recording and playback with the use of a compatible device.)
Compatibility
- Memory Card Compatibility: Secure Digital Extended Capacity (SDXC), Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC), Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo, Memory Stick XC-HG Duo (The type of memory card(s) recommended for use with the product.)
Features
- Wind Noise Reduction: false (If you take a lot of outside videos, in windy conditions, you'll need to make sure you have wind noise reduction on your camcorder. It does just what it says it does, cuts down the noise of the wind as it hits the microphone.)
Connectivity
- Wireless Connectivity: None (The manner in which a device sends data to another device over a short distance without the use of wires or cables.)
- Output(s): HDMI, Composite video, USB 2.0, XLR, BNC, 3.5mm audio

Big camcorder in a small package
The X70 is a fully professional camcorder in a remarkably compact package. I have been shooting professionally full time for over 16 years. My other current solid state camcorders are a Sony EX1-R and Sony NX5U, in addition to DV and DVCAM camcorders that rarely come out of retirement. The image quality from the X70 is at least as good to marginally better than my other 2 pro camcorders. I am surprised at the number of functions that are available by buttons on such a small body. Of course I take full advantage of the programmable buttons. The compact size is handy, though I do think it compromises a professional image. About the only practical technical compromises are that the internal mic cannot be selected when the XLR handle is attached, and the composite output is not full size. The menu layout and options are very similar to my NX5U, so I was generally able to grab and shoot with it right out of the box. I appreciate the full size HDMI output, SDI output, and dual card slots in such a small camera body. The layout of buttons, switches, and ports is so well designed that it really doesn't seem cramped. My wish list is short: a still shot option; but neither of my other solid state camcorders have that. I ended up buying a Sony 10X iii for that purpose. I highly recommend this camcorder.

You'll need to add $500 for 4K license!
Well, the camera needs another $500 purchase from SONY to receive their 4K license and update this camera's firmware to unlock 4K shooting! Other than that hidden line, this is a great camera for an entry level/intermediate cinematographer. As with most SONY prosumer cameras I have purchased in my years, this camera needs lighting in low light environments so keep that in mind!

Works well in my operation.
The cameras fits the need of my operation. I currently have 8 cameras. Have been pleased with the fit.
