Outdoor capability

Because the Sony HXR-NX70U NXCAM has a waterproof rating of IPx4, you can use it under rainy or dusty environments with confidence. The rate actually means that the camera’s body is well-protected against rain showers and camera splashes because of its sealed design. It is also because of this that the camcorder is protected from sand or large particles of dust. However, it is imperative that the camcorder is not submerged in water.

Amazing features

Apart from being useful under rainy and weather conditions, which practically sets it apart from other camcorders, the Sony HXR-NX70U NXCAM also has other amazing features.

It can shoot in Full HD quality with a choice of frame rates of 50p, 50i and 25p. At the same time, it can capture 12.3 mega pixel still images.
It allows you to compose a shot easily through the large 3.5” XtraFine LCD screen that shows sharp, detailed and bright images. It is also through the same screen that you are able to change the settings accordingly even when the lighting conditions are bright
It has a variety of playback options such as via HDMI or HDTV, allowing you to view your footage in a way that’s more convenient for you. Just check out Sony HXR-NX70U NXCAM reviews and you’ll see how a lot of users are happy about the playback options.
It has two balanced XLR audio inputs suited for professional shooters looking to create videos with clear quality sound. The ECM-XM1 shotgun microphone included with the Sony HXR-NX70U NXCAM camcorder provides recording performance that rivals that of large ENG-style cameras.

Among the Sony HXR-NX70U NXCAM reviews, however, the zoom control is considered to have the most flaws. The see-saw button zoom button makes it hard to zoom in and out as it can respond very slowly or very fast, depending on how hard you press on it. Then again, you can always use the zoom ring if the front-to-back zoom isn’t to your liking. But like most reviews, a Sony HXR-NX70U NXCAM review can have negative or positive output, depending on who’s using it. So it’s best to get your own Sony HXR-NX70U NXCAM to see for yourself just how awesome this device is.

Finding the best camcorder in the market is not easy, what with the many brands and models in the market. But if you choose one based on the brand name, you’ll never go wrong with Sony. Still, it pays to do your research by reading a Sony HXR-NX70U NXCAM review or two or by studying the features the camcorder has.
