The new HVR-Z1U features three newly developed Super HAD 1/3" CCDs. These new 16:9 native CCDs, combined with a high quality 12X Optical Zoom Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar® T* Lens and Sony's new 14 bit A/D and DXP Digital Extended Processor, result in precise image acquisition with superb detail and clarity.
The advanced CCD design allows more light to reach the pixel imager, reducing video noise and improving the signal-to-noise ratio. The new HVR-Z1U records this exceptional imagery using the recently adopted HDV 1080i format onto a DVCAM™ mini cassette.
Please note that the directional shotgun microphone pictured is not included with the camcorder rental but shotgun microphones are available as optional accessories.
The camcorder rental includes the HVR-Z1U camcorder, Carrying Case, an AC Adaptor/Charger, Remote Control Cable, A/V Cable, Component Video Cable, Firewire Cable, Shoulder Strap; Large Eyecup; Shoe Extender; Lens Hood with Integral Lens Cap; and three InfoLithium® "L" batteries.
