Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Welcome to broadcast-quality HD video from the palm of your hand. The 1” image sensor is approximately 8x larger than that of typical camcorders for capturing defocused backgrounds and true cinematic depth. It’s flexible, too. Record your vision in XAVC S (up to 50mpbs), AVCHD or MP4 codecs with impressive clarity and color accuracy. There’s nothing else like it in the industry.

Technology

1” Exmor R CMOS sensor w/ Direct Pixel Read Out

The world’s first 1.0” CMOS sensor featuring an Exmor R CMOS image sensor technology. With this back-illuminated technology, the sensor doubles light sensitivity and combines with Sony’s Column A/D Conversion to reduce noise by half — a great help when photographing in dimly lit environments. Markedly reduced noise is evident even when high-sensitivity settings are used for capturing night landscapes or indoor scenes.

Optical SteadyShot Image Stabilization w/ Active Mode

Optical SteadyShot Image Stabilization with Intelligent Active Mode is an advanced optical image stabilization technology that corrects camera shake to capture scenes with phenomenal smoothness and stability. Intelligent Active Mode analyzes video frames and provides compensation with assistance from the new BIONZ X image processing engine. Whether recording movies while strolling on vacation, shooting while chasing a child, or zooming in to capture faraway subjects, Handycam’s simple solution smoothly reproduces the scene with a higher level of stability.

Versatile shooting w/ XAVC S, AVCHD and MP4 codecs¹

The HDR-CX900 records HD movies in the XAVC S format, which uses MPEG-4 AVC/H.264¹ for video compression and linear PCM for audio compression, while saving files in a MP4² wrapper. The highly compressed files allow extensive record times. The camcorder also records in AVCHD, ideal for quality video for HDTV and Blu-ray disc burning. Additionally, the camcorder can shoot MP4 HD video, which is ideal for sharing over the internet at up to 28Mbps. Having the ability to switch between all three of three formats makes this camcorder an ideal tool that is versatile for creating content to live in a number of different environments.

Zeiss Vario Sonnar T* lens w/ 12x optical zoom

The HDR-CX900 comes equipped with a newly developed Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens that has cleared a series of tough performance tests. Not only is this 29mm wide-angle lens ideal for capturing grand landscapes, but it covers wide-ranging image expression thanks to maximum 12x optical zoom and 24x Clear Image zoom.

Multi-interface Accessory Shoe for system accessories

Users can expand photographic and movie shooting possibilities by attaching optional accessories via the Multi Interface Shoe, including an electronic viewfinder, powerful external flash and stereo microphone. You can also connect with a compatible remote control via Multi Terminal (accessories sold separately).

BIONZ X Processor enables high Speed rec 120fps

The new BIONZ X image processor enables the camcorder to create more naturally vivid and lifelike image quality, and higher resolution imagery.

Additional Features

14MP resolution video and 20MP still image capture

Create cinematic video with 14MP resolution sensor (for video) and high quality 20MP still images.

Large 3.5" Xtra Fine LCD

The 3.5” (16:9) Xtra Fine LCD screen (921K) displays sharp, bright, vivid images, letting you compose a shot more easily -- even outdoors, while enabling you to change settings to best represent the scene.

High contrast 0.39" OLED EVF for eye-level framing

The HDR-CX900 employs high contrast a 0.39” OLED Tru-Finder EVF which reproduces rich color and deep black. A new optical design of the EVF, using four dual-surface aspherical lenses, allows for a 33-degree wide angle view that is amazing clear through the edge of the view finder.

Simple connectivity to smartphones via Wi-Fi/NFC

Connectivity with smartphones for One-touch sharing/One-touch remote has been simplified with Wi-Fi/NFC control. In addition to Wi-Fi support for connecting to smartphones, the HDR-CX900 also supports NFC (near field communication) providing “touch connection” convenience when transferring images to Android smartphones and tablets. Users need only touch devices to connect; no complex set-up is required. Moreover, when using Smart Remote Control — a feature that allows shutter release to be controlled by a smartphone — connection between HDR-CX900 and the smartphone can be established by simply touching devices.
