Sony continues to push the boundaries of video technology with the launch of two new 4K handheld camcorders: the NXCAM™ HXR-NX800 and XDCAM™ PXW-Z200. These models are packed with advanced features that cater to professionals across various industries, including broadcasting, corporate media, education, and faith-based content creation. With cutting-edge AI technology, exceptional image quality, and a compact, portable design, these camcorders are set to become essential tools for content creators. And the best part? You can purchase these incredible camcorders directly from UBMS (United Broadcast), your authorized Sony dealer.

AI-Powered Innovation

At the heart of both the HXR-NX800 and PXW-Z200 is Sony's pioneering use of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance video production. These camcorders are equipped with AI- based subject recognition, autofocus, tracking, and auto-framing capabilities. This means that whether you're filming a fast-paced event, conducting interviews, or capturing dynamic scenes, the camcorders will automatically focus on your subject with incredible accuracy.

The AI-powered autofocus system, driven by the BIONZ XR™ image processing engine and a specialized AI-processing unit, allows for real-time recognition and tracking of subjects. This advanced technology significantly reduces the need for manual adjustments, ensuring that your shots are always in focus and framed perfectly, no matter the shooting conditions.

Both of these innovative models are now available at UBMS (United Broadcast), where you can get hands-on with the latest Sony technology.

High-Quality Capture and Versatile Shooting

Both camcorders are designed for high-quality 4K capture, supporting 60p/120p recording. They feature a 1.0-inch Exmor RS™ CMOS stacked sensor, which provides excellent sensitivity and low-noise performance. This sensor, combined with the AI- driven processing ensures that the footage captured is of the highest quality, even in challenging lighting conditions.

One of the standout features of these camcorders is the new 20x optical zoom lens, which offers exceptional flexibility. The lens covers a wide focal range, from 24mm wide- angle to 480mm telephoto, making it suitable for a wide variety of shooting scenarios. Additionally, Sony's Clear Image Zoom technology allows for up to 30x zoom in 4K and 40x in HD, without sacrificing image quality.

To further enhance shooting versatility, Sony has included an Electronic Variable ND Filter, allowing users to adjust the ND settings seamlessly between 1/4 to 1/128 density. The option to enable auto-ND is particularly useful when moving quickly between different lighting environments, as it maintains optimized exposure without manual intervention.

Compact, Portable Design

Despite their powerful feature sets, the HXR-NX800 and PXW-Z200 are remarkably compact and lightweight. Weighing just under 2 kilograms, these camcorders are easy to carry and maneuver, making them ideal for on-the-go shooting. The newly designed foldable viewfinder, removable microphone holder, and foldable 3.5-inch LCD monitor further enhance their portability and ease of use.

The compact design does not compromise functionality. Both models include two rings for focus and zoom adjustments, as well as two dials for IRIS/ND Variable, located side- by-side for easy access. Additionally, 12 assignable buttons provide ample customization options, allowing users to tailor the camcorders to their specific workflow.

Seamless Integration and Connectivity

Sony understands the importance of interoperability and network connectivity in modern video production. The HXR-NX800 and PXW-Z200 are designed to integrate seamlessly with Sony’s broader camera ecosystem, offering presets like S-Cinetone™, ITU709, and HLG profiles that ensure color consistency across different Sony cameras, including the Cinema Line and Alpha™ series.

Both models support a wide range of recording formats, including XAVC HS, XAVC S, XAVC SI, and XAVC HS Proxy, which help reduce data storage and management burdens during post-production. The PXW-Z200 is also set to receive a firmware update in Q3 2025, adding XAVC (MXF) recording capabilities, further expanding its versatility.

In terms of connectivity, these camcorders are well-equipped. The HXR-NX800 and PXW-Z200 offer multiple interfaces, including HDMI Type A, USB Type-C™, LAN, and REMOTE terminals. The PXW-Z200 also features SDI input/output, supporting various standards such as 12G, 6G, and HD. This extensive connectivity makes it easy to integrate the camcorders into any production setup, whether you're working on a solo project or as part of a larger team.

For professionals who need to stream content live, the camcorders offer built-in support for live streaming via Wi-Fi, allowing users to broadcast directly to platforms like YouTube and Facebook with minimal setup.
