Sony PMW-500
Sony PMW-500 is designed for broadcasters, live event production, documentaries, rental companies or any professional application requiring a versatile and high-performance camcorder. The new camcorder combines the exceptional picture quality and performance of Sony’s PDW-F800 optical disc camera with the operational flexibility of recording onto solid state SxS memory cards. The PMW-500 is equipped with three 2/3-inch Power HAD FX CCD image sensors and can record both 1080 and 720 HD pictures at 50 Mb/s. The PMW-500 has two slots for recording onto SxS Memory Card cards. SxS memory cards provide an extremely high level of reliability and fast access to recorded data, both critical in demanding professional operations. Sony is also adding a new higher capacity 64GB (SBS-64G1A) card which can record 2 hours of material at HD422 50Mbps MXF mode, or more than 4 hours in DVCAM mode and has an increased transfer speed of 1.2Gbps (SBS-32G1A & SBS-64G1A).
