We had the chance to test the new Sony PXW-Z90, a small “professional” camcorder with 4k UHD (25/30p) 4.2.0. and 1080p Slow-mo and 4.2.2 10 bit HD. The focusing on this camera is excellent, including face recognition, and it has good reach with 12x optical and up to 18x with clearview. Good optical stablisation, and plenty of custom buttons. It has a full size HDMI port, as well as a SDI port. Plenty of network connectivity options too.
We use a Canon XF200 for much of our corporate work, which has no 4k. The Sony Z90 is proving to be an excellent replacement with similar form factor (but lighter), and has MXF file wrapper which is good for broadcast, but harder to edit. The colour science is pretty good – we used pp4 for this test, but there are options of HLG and SLog3.
Here is a quick demo of the results we got shooting in 4K (and 1080p slo-mo up-scaled).
