Sony PXW-Z200 Camcorder Overview

On-the-go creators looking for rapid autofocusing, auto-framing, and quick content sharing in a compact form can turn to the Sony PXW-Z200 4K 1" CMOS Sensor XDCAM Camcorder. Geared for high mobility, this successor to the PXWZ190 features a 1"-type Exmor RS CMOS sensor for up to UHD 4K resolution, AI-assisted autofocus and auto-framing, a variable electronic ND filter, BIONZ XR processing, and color matching with Sony Cinema Line cameras. It sports a longer 20x optical zoom and has built-in dual-band 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi and an Ethernet for direct streaming via RTMP/RTMPS, SRT protocols, and FTP options. Use the Sony Monitor & Control app to view your capture using your smartphone or tablet. Broadcast-friendly MXF wrapping will be available with a firmware update scheduled for the summer of 2025.

1" Exmor RS CMOS Sensor

The PXW-Z200's 1.0"-type Exmor RS CMOS sensor uses its stacked design to provide optimal image quality, faster readout speeds, and excellent low-light performance. It produces extraordinary 4K imagery using 5K oversampling with full-pixel readout.

Longer 20x Optical Zoom

Capture views ranging from close-ups to wide angles in tight interiors using the 20x G-series zoom equivalent to a 35mm full-frame 24-480mm. Tap the Clear Image Zoom function to expand the zoom range to 30x in 4K and 40x in HD.

BIONZ XR Processing

The latest BIONZ XR TM image processor enables higher frame rates, faster autofocus, improved ATW control, and excellent noise reduction. Extracting maximum performance from the high-resolution image sensor lets you capture the most subtle textures and finest detail. 5K oversampling with full-pixel readout condenses ample image information into stunning UHD 4K60 video.

Advanced AI-Assisted Autofocus

  • The PXW-Z200's AI-assisted deep learning provides precise human-subject recognition.
  • With 81% coverage, its Fast Hybrid autofocus system offers better support for both Subject Recognition AF and Real-Time Tracking.

Auto Framing

Reliably keep track of your subjects using the Auto Framing function, which automatically recognizes human forms and adjusts the frame to keep your subject centered. Especially handy for solo shooters, Auto Framing mimics manual capture while letting you engage with your subject.

Flexible Frame Rates

Record up to UHD 4K60 video and high frame rates of up to UHD 4K120 and 1080p HD at 240 fps. Slow motion rates include 4x at 4K30 and 5x at 4K24p with high-speed autofocus to keep your subject sharp.
Pro Broadcast and Film Looks.
  • Presets for S-Cinetone, ITU709, 709tone, HLG Live, HLG Mild, and HLG Natural can be further tweaked with black, matrix, and other adjustments.
  • The PXW-Z200's content can be color-matched with footage from other Sony broadcast and Cinema Line cameras.

12G-SDI Connectivity

This camcorder's interface includes up to 12G-SDI input and output, timecode input and output, genlock, USB-A, USB-C, LAN, REMOTE, and additional connectors.

Full Auto Mode

When the action gets too hectic, you can simply switch to a fully automatic mode with a single switch. Auto settings include ND, Iris, Gain, Shutter, and White Balance modes.

Built-In Variable ND Filter

  • The PXW-Z200 incorporates a variable ND filter function.
  • Provides a wide 1/4 to 1/128 ND range.
  • Use the variable ND to seamlessly adjust your exposure with the twist of a dial.

Easy File Transfers

The PXW-Z200 lets you upload proxy and original clips straight from a memory card to a cloud or FTP server. Transfer files automatically when each recording stops after registering the destination server in the camera. You can even record proxy clips in segments and transfer them sequentially during recording. The optional, paid Creator's Cloud for Enterprise C3 Portal application makes cloud transfers easy with even quicker availability of video files for editing and sharing.

Live Streaming

  • Stream directly from the camera using Wi-Fi or via a wired Ethernet connection.
  • You can stream to compatible platforms using RTMP/RTMPS and SRT protocols.

Advanced White Balance

The PXW-Z200's ATW (Auto-Tracing Balance) offers improved performance, even in shaded areas.

Advanced Image Stabilization

Built-in image stabilization minimizes camera shake, giving you the smoothest footage possible. Active Mode stabilization uses both optical and electronic elements to make your handheld shots look like you used a gimbal.

OLED Viewfinder and 3.5" LCD

  • The PXW-Z200 offers an OLED viewfinder and a 3.5" articulated LCD for monitoring your capture.
  • The high-contrast OLED EVF provides a clear 2.36MP view while blocking ambient light.
  • The LCD can be positioned for the best view, and it comes with a sun hood.

Recording Options

  • A choice of recording options means you can select the best solution for each project you capture. Choose XAVC S-I for the highest quality, post-friendly 10-bit 4:2:2 4K (QFHD) recording using Intra-Frame H.264.
  • XAVC HS-L (H.265) and XAVC S-L (H.264) provide a choice of 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 with Long GOP recording for extended recording times and file-saving efficiency.
  • XAVC HS enables the recording of smaller proxy files (up to 16 Mb/s) for previewing and editing.
  • Broadcast-friendly MXF wrapping will be available with a firmware update in the summer of 2025.

Dual Memory Card Slots

The PXW-Z200 provides two memory card slots compatible with both CFexpress Type A and SD cards.
Wireless Remote Control and Monitoring
  • Use the built-in Wi-Fi connectivity with the Monitor & Control app.
  • Check your framing and monitor, and adjust camera controls.

4-Channel Audio

Combine the MI (multi-interface) shoe and XLR connectors to record up to four channels of audio. Audio dials let you quickly adjust levels for two channels without needing to scroll through a menu tree.

Sony Battery Power

Like many other Sony cameras, the PXW-Z200 camcorder uses BP-U35, BP-U70, or BP-U100 packs, enabling you to use your existing supply of batteries.
