Total score ?

| Pros | + 50P Recording
+ Big wide angle
+ Very good low light behavior
|
| Cons | - Image characteristics can not be changed
|
| Conclusion | The HXR-NX70 is a nice camera; with its external controls it makes Sony`s consumer technology interesting for pros also.In addition to the good light sensitivity the abberation correction is remarkable, since it is seldom found on professional cameras.The only real drawback is the fixed image characteristics, which can not be modified.The pricing is fair considering the XLR connectors and the dust and splash protection -- as long as you actually have use for these features...Otherwise a comparable image quality can be found in the consumer class for approximately one third of the price of the NX70. |
