Sony's broadcast-grade 4K camcorder with three 1/2-inch CMOS sensors, 17x optical zoom, and HDR recording.

The Sony PXW-Z280 is a professional broadcast camcorder launched in 2018, aimed at news, documentary, and corporate video production. It uses three 1/2-inch Exmor R CMOS sensors in a classic shoulder-mount camcorder form factor with built-in 17x optical zoom.

Records 4K 60p XAVC-Long and 4K HDR (HLG). The three-sensor design delivers accurate colour separation and excellent low-light performance for broadcast work. Fast Hybrid AF system. Electronic variable ND filter built in — a major time-saver for run-and-gun.

Dual SxS/SDXC card slots for relay or simultaneous recording. Built-in wireless streaming capability. 3G-SDI and HDMI outputs. XLR audio inputs with phantom power. Shoulder-mount design with adjustable grip. GPS and NFC. Approximately 2.3kg body only.

Available used at professional prices. A workhorse for news and corporate production. Check sensor alignment — three-chip cameras can develop registration issues. The successor Z280V added improvements. Broadcast-grade reliability makes it popular in rental fleets.
