Sony HXR-NX800 4K 1" Sensor NXCAM Camcorder

Sony HXR-NX800 4K HDR Camcorder Overview

The Sony NX800 is a powerful compact camcorder that delivers stunning 4K HDR footage with crisp details and vivid colors. Its 1.0-type Exmor RS stacked CMOS sensor provides high sensitivity and low noise, allowing for up to 120fps in 4K and 240fps in FHD. With full-pixel readout and real-time BIONZ XR image processing, every detail is preserved while compatibility with 709tone and S-Cinetone makes color-matching easy. The Z200 also offers intelligent features such as AI subject recognition, Fast Hybrid AF, and an Electronic Variable ND Filter for optimal exposure. It also has built-in Wi-Fi, 12G-SDI, and XAVC support for easy streaming and broadcast TV connectivity.

High-Quality Capture

AI subject recognition, autofocus (AF), and support for 4K 60p/120p recording facilitate high-quality capture with less manual input. The cameras feature a BIONZ XR™ image processing engine and a specialized AI-processing unit for highly accurate, real-time recognition, tracking, and framing of subjects. In addition, the HXR-NX800's 1.0-inch-type Exmor RS™ CMOS stacked sensor provides high-sensitivity and low-noise capability.

An Electronic Variable ND Filter enables users to toggle seamlessly between 1/4 to 1/128 density. Users also have the option to enable auto-ND, which allows the camera to maintain an optimized exposure without the user having to adjust settings – especially useful when moving quickly between indoor and outdoor environments. Two rings for focus and zoom[iii] and two dials for IRIS/ND Variable are located side-by-side, for effortlessly adjusting exposure along with focus and zoom. Twelve assignable buttons provide further customization.

Powerful Zoom and Image Stability

The NX800 is equipped with Sony's G Lens™ with 20x optical power zoom that covers 24mm wide-angle to 480mm telephoto and a maximum aperture of F2.8-F4.5. The models can achieve 30x (4K) and 40x (HD) zoom using Sony's Clear Image Zoom technology.

Active mode combines electronic correction with optical image stabilization to provide smoother imagery on the go.

Compact New Design

The HXR-NX800 has designed a foldable viewfinder, a removable microphone holder, and a foldable 3.5-inch LCD monitor that allows users to check images and focus in bright environments. The new models are compact and have an exceptionally lightweight body (HXR-NX800: approximately 1.93 kg (4 lb 4.1 oz.), PXW-Z200: approximately 1.96 kg (4 lb 5.1 oz)) for their rich feature set. Additionally, either model can be folded up for further ease of storage and portability.

Interoperability and Integration

The HXR-NX800 provides beneficial integration with Sony’s camera portfolio. Presets such as S-Cinetone™, ITU709, 709tone, HLG Live, HLG Mild, and HLG Natural, can be easily adjusted to colour match the footage captured on Sony’s other broadcast, Cinema Line, and AlphaTM cameras.

The new camera supports a wide variety of recording formats including XAVC HS, XAVC S, XAVC SI, and XAVC HS Proxy (up to 16 Mbps). They support proxy recording, which reduces the burden of data storage and management during post-production, and TC/UB recording, which is necessary when operating multiple cameras. The HXR-NX800 will also support XAVC (MXF) recording through a future firmware update expected from Q3 2025 (calendar year).

Professional Network Connectivity

The HXR-NX800 offers an all-in-one recording and streaming solution that empowers a single operator or small team to easily manage both capture and distribution. Connecting the cameras to a network, such as Wi-Fi, enables live streaming of recorded footage to streaming services and video sites via RTMP/RTMPS or SRT.

Easy File Transfers

The HXR-NX800 lets you upload proxy and original clips straight from a memory card to a cloud or FTP server. Transfer files automatically when each recording stops after registering the destination server in the camera. You can even record proxy clips in segments and transfer them sequentially during recording. The optional, paid Creator's Cloud for Enterprise C3 Portal application makes cloud transfers easy with even quicker availability of video files for editing and sharing.

Advanced White Balance

The HXR-NX800's ATW (Auto-Tracing Balance) offers improved performance, even in shaded areas.

• The HXR-NX800 offers an OLED viewfinder and a 3.5" articulated LCD for monitoring your capture.
• The high-contrast OLED EVF provides a clear 2.36MP view while blocking ambient light.
• The LCD can be positioned for the best view, and it comes with a sun hood.

Dual Memory Card Slots
