Sony HVR-Z7P

HDV camcorder (PAL) with interchangeable 1/3" bayonet lens mount, dual recording to MiniDV tape and CompactFlash. Includes the original Carl Zeiss 12x zoom lens with built-in 2x digital extender. A proven workhorse for documentary, event, and independent film work. Records full HD (1080i) with true broadcast-quality colour and manual control over focus, iris, and zoom. The interchangeable lens mount is a rare feature at this price point, giving flexibility that most camcorders in this class don't offer. Solid build, reliable performance, and still very capable for productions that don't need 4K.
