Overview
The Sony HVR-S270P is a PAL-system HDV camcorder designed for ENG applications. This high-quality, cost-effective camera incorporates all the benefits of HDV technology, while also taking advantage of standard-size MiniDV tapes for increased runtimes. At the same time, the HVR-S270P can record directly to CompactFlash cards via the camera's supplied memory recording unit. Combined with Sony's entire family of HDV products, the HVR-S270P is a great camcorder for almost any production, including documentaries, news, low-budget features, music videos, and industrials.
ClearVID 3CMOS Technology
Sony's ClearVID sensors are positioned at a 45° angle. Since each pixel is positioned at this angle the result is far clearer diagonal lines. Images will appear crisper, without the apparent ""jaggies"" that often plague video signals.
Record to Compact Flash
The camera comes with an attachable recording unit, allowing users to record HDV and DV to CompactFlash cards. With card capacity getting larger and larger, the ability to take advantage of tapeless workflow while still using cheap media is a welcome addition.
