- ease of use - very lightweight - crystal clear picture quality - wide range of recording options

- not great in low light situations - zoom is very minimal - microphone (both inbuilt and the boom that comes with it) are weak

Sony HXR-NX70

 

It is a great size for the sort of work I do; it is straightforward to use; the internal memory is a great addition (I used a Z7 before the NX70).

The mechanical zoom is poor. A few more features which can be accessed through buttons rather than the touch screen would be a help. A second "record" button on the other side of the camera (or the rear) would be good.

* The wind screen is not sufficiently effective and needs improvement * The lack of a good printed manual is very regrettable for a camera of this price and versatility. The CD is a poor and inadequate substitute (It didn't mention that the solid state...
