About Sony PMW-320K XDCAM EX 1/2" Shoulder-Mount Camcorder - (2898 Hours) SKU#1714302
The Sony XDCAM Ex lineup continues to expand and improve with the PMW-320K Full HD Camcorder. Nearly identical to the larger-sensor PMW-350L, this professional shoulder-mount camera boasts three 1/2"-type full-HD CMOS sensors, solid state SXS workflow and an impressive set of advanced features, setting new standards for high-end videography. With a chassis based on the XDCAM HD422, the PMW-320K also manages to be one of the lightest - and most well-balanced - camcorders in its class (even factoring in the included 16x interchangeable Fujinon lens).
But comfort and portability are only the beginning. Pressing the Record button reveals what the PMW-320K is really about: topnotch image quality. And this camcorder comes by it honestly, whether in its High Quality 35Mbs HD setting or using the optional 25Mbs DVCAM recording mode. Either way, your images are captured quietly and efficiently to SXS PRO or the new, lower-cost SXS-1 memory cards - storing up to 280 minutes of MPEG-2 HD video on two 32GB cards. You can even record uncompressed 4:2:2 video by capturing to an external recorder via the camera's HD-SDI output.
Exceptionally low power consumption (down to 15W) means the PMW-320K can run on a single 90Wh battery for up to 5 hours, which is not only good for the environment, but fewer batteries mean less weight (and lower costs) on long-distance shoots. Other features - some passed down from Sony's higher-end F900R and PDW-700 - are also worth highlighting, including scene file settings, adjustable gamma and Matrix settings that can be stored on memory cards. Four channels of audio and a viewfinder that incorporates the EX1/EX3's entire high-resolution LCD screen (and adds image flip) make the shooter's job even easier. With the introduction of the PMW-320K, Sony reaffirms its XDCAM Ex cameras as serious high-definition contenders.
