Product details

A large 1" EXMOR R CMOS sensor with up to 20 megapixels enables sharp video recordings. Due to its approximately six times larger light capture area compared to a conventional camcorder, it achieves low-noise images with vibrant colors even in low light. With the CX900E camcorder, you can create blur effects in the background. A large, sensitive EXMOR R CMOS sensor (Type 1.0") with 20 megapixels and BIONZ X processor ensures crystal-clear quality. Thanks to the ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* lens, low light is not an issue.

Finer images without noise: The new BIONZ X image processor is fast and powerful, reducing noise across the entire image area. The detail reproduction technology optimally filters edges and structures depending on the subject, presenting scenes sharply and with realistic details.

Greater light intake: With its large aperture, the ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* captures even more light for professional effects, such as sharp images of a subject against a slightly blurred background. The special T* coating reduces reflections and glare for contrast-rich images.

Capture even more in the frame: If you don't want to miss anything, you can expand your view with a 29mm wide-angle lens. Whether it's a panoramic or macro shot, everything fits in the frame. With the 18x Clear Image Zoom, you can get closer to the action and capture the scene in detail.

Rank 2 out of 17Stiftung WarentestDie neue Art des FilmensReleaseOctober 2014

Der Sony HDR-CX900E lässt sich sehr einfach bedienen, wobei auch die gute Ausstattung zu seinen Vorzügen gezählt werden kann. Vor allem aber kann der Camcorder mit seinen hohen Qualitäten bei Videos, Fotos und auch Ton von sich überzeugen. Der Preis ist hingegen nicht ganz günstig, zumal auch die kurze Betriebsdauer Kritik erntet.

Der sehr kompakte Camcorder hat nicht nur eine tolle Ausstattung, sondern lässt sich mittels diverser Bedientasten und Ringe auch sehr gut handhaben. Dabei ist die Bildqualität als sehr gut zu werten, wobei auch das Rauschverhalten gut ist. Nur der Blitzschuh kann Zubehör von Fremdfirmen nicht aufnahmen, was aber bei der guten Gesamtleistung zu vernachlässigen ist.
