- General
- Brand: Sony
- Model Number: PXWZ90V
- Product Name: XDCAM PXW-Z90V 4K Flash Memory Premium Camcorder
- Color: Black
- 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.)
- Image Sensor Size: 1” (13.2 x 8.8 mm)
- Digital Zoom: 192x (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.)
- 360 Degree Capture: true (The capability of the product to record an image incorporating a 360 degree point of view.)
- Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
- Focus
- Auto/Manual Focus: Automatic/manual
- Focus Modes: Automatic/manual
- Exposure Control
- Maximum Aperture: f/2.8 (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: Indoor (3200K), Outdoor (5600K ± 7 steps), Color temparature (2300K - 15000K), Onepush A and B, Auto (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: 14.2 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.)
- Touch Screen: true (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
- Varying Angle Screen: true (The camera's screen can be flipped out and adjusted to rotate, tilt, and/or swivel.)
- Video
- Standardized Video Resolution: 4K (2160p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)
- Maximum Video Frame Rate: Up to 30 fps (The maximum frequency at which consecutive images can be captured by a video recording device.)
- HDR Mode: true (HDR Mode uses multiple photos taken at different exposures to add more dynamic range to photographs. HDR technology displays content with greater contrast between bright and dark, resulting in clearer and more lifelike images.)
- Slow Motion Recording: false
- Video Encoding Formats: AVCHD, MPEG, 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.)

Great Camera for budding professionals
The Z90 gives broadcast quality 4K with advanced features such as high-speed auto focus, Instant HDR workflow up to 960fps is a beast along with super-slow motion. Streaming via Wi-Fi is little tricky to set up but once done you are all set. Expecting a fix in 2019 update (Simple Live free upgrade) You might definitely need the battery kit ACC-V1BPA which comes along with NP-FV100A high capacity battery if you are going to record for more than 60-70mins on a 70A battery

A Professional Ability Amatuer Budget CamCorder
I researched this purchase for awhile before diving in. I was committed to buying a camera that could take video and handle sound in a more professional way than my SLR camera might and certainly better than a Smart Phone. All those work fine for vacation videos and family moments, but I wanted something I could use for more detailed work - like adding music, cut and pasting photos over the video, dubbing sounds, and even a clearer style picture, of a professional quality. I recently taped a theatrical play I directed and made a 4 minute training video as well - adding all sorts of things. Overall the system was EASY to use and learn. This is NOT the least expensive, but it by far is not the most expensive either. What is it is a great value for all that it does. I added a Rodes boom mike and a spot light., and also purchased an extra battery, but have not needed it. Look bottom line -- if you want a camcorder you can do some editing work with later and make the video more than just a serious of moving pictures... but don't want to buy a professional priced gear, this is th eunit for you,

Amazing focus and clarity
I'm a rookie, but this was easy and incredible technology all in one small device. The colors are crisp and vibrant. The sound capture is amazing also. The in and out focus while zooming is so smooth. I love the diopter for your personal focus. Hope to do a question and answer clips with my incredible teacher mother about her life. Love this sony and im a canon guy.
