In our Camera expertise the Sony XDCAM format camera is part of our Sony family experience. We also offer other Sony video cameras or other popular in Panasonic or Canon or RED.

Why the PMW-F3 for video or 'film' or production or television ?

If you want to achieve a great latitude of picture control from color, contrast, depth of field, and have a great selection of available lens choices, the Sony PMW F3 / F3L is an excellent choice for a camera for you. XDCAM video is also a great choice to record S Log video or the native XDCAM video codecs. You can also dock the F3 to an external recorder like a Nanoflash or Sound Devices Pix 240 recorder, enabling high bit rates and QuickTime video files ready to edit as well. Having a higher data rate with less compression greatly improves your video, and also allows multiple generation video editing as well. We can also simultaneously record the XDCAM MXF format + QuickTime or MPEG with a NanoFlash or other recorder connected to the cameras HD-SDI BNC port.

Why a tapeless workflow with the PMW F3?

If you have a modern edit software like Premiere Pro, Avid, Final Cut 7 or X, or Sony Vegas, you're ready to start importing the files and editing soon after with the Sony XDCAM format. You can transcode these files into QuickTime movies, AVI, H264 or whatever file format your edit system is capable of. With external hard drives increasing in speed and decreasing in cost, a hard drive is video to go when you shoot with XDCAM, as the files can be quickly copied throughout the production enabling you to catch you flight or make other schedules in your day as well. Also eliminating additional hardware to digitize adds a huge advantage to XDCAM.

If you're considering a F3, F5 or F55 Sony format camera, they open a great advantage to your production in accessories, as well adapters. You do not have to use PL mount lenses only as well, if you utilize adapters to adapt DSLR lenses to these cameras. You can also choose from many PL lenses brand new or consignment items if your budget is restricted for a new camera purchase.
