Sony Z7U

In Stock

Sony Z7U

The Sony Z7U is the smaller, lighter, handheld version of Sony’s S270U professional camcorder.

The Z7U is one of the first prosumer camcorders to feature an interchangeable lens system with a bayonet mount, which allows for standard 1/3" HD video lenses from a variety of manufacturers to be attached directly to the camera body. An adapter can also allow the use of lenses designed for Sony’s digital SLR cameras. 2/3" or 1/2" lenses can be used with a different adapter. The Z7U has 1080 recording capability at 60i. It also offers simultaneous recording to Compact Flash and MiniDV tape.

The Z7U comes with the Zeiss 12x Optical Zoom lens standard, but this camcorder is also compatible with other 1/3" HD lenses with a bayonet mount, including the Fujinon 17×5.

Need memory cards? CF cards which are fast enough for recording 30Mbps are available in 16GB and 32GB sizes here at LensRentals.

Need a spare battery? It comes with 2 batteries and a charger, but a spare is always a good idea.

Mike’s Take: A camera that can be handheld, records to MiniDV tape and to CF cards at the same time, and has interchangeable lenses. Sounds good to me. And it’s a joy to use. No shoulder mount, but that’s not really what it was designed for. And you can always add one.
