PAL version of the Z7U. Sony's new HVR-Z7U is the world's first professional handheld HDV camcorder with an interchangeable lens system.
The compact design makes it easy to use and flexible when shooting applications requiring mobility and in space-constrained locations.
- The HVR-Z7U accepts miniDV cassette tapes,which provide over 60 minutes recording time for HDV and DV formats, over 40 minutes for DVCAM format.
