Used Sony HXR-NX5 NXCAM Professional Camcorder

If you’re looking for a versatile, professional-grade camcorder, the Sony NX5R Professional Camcorder is a strong contender. Designed for broadcast, documentary, and event videography, it balances 4K capabilities, strong zoom performance, and built-in lighting—all in a compact, shoulder-mount design.

1. Video Quality & Recording Options

While it internally records Full HD (1080p at 60/50fps) in AVCHD or XAVC S, the NX5R can also output 4K UHD (3840 × 2160) via HDMI to an external recorder. This makes it a flexible choice for productions needing higher resolution.

2. Sensor & Lens Performance

Equipped with three 1/2.8-inch Exmor CMOS sensors, this camcorder delivers solid low-light performance and reduced noise. The 20x optical zoom lens (29.5–590mm equivalent) includes Optical SteadyShot stabilization, ensuring smooth handheld shots even at long focal lengths.

3. Built-In LED Light & Audio

A unique advantage is the integrated LED light, which helps in dimly lit environments without extra gear. For audio, the dual XLR inputs with 48V phantom power support professional microphones, making it ideal for interviews and live events.

4. Storage & Connectivity

The Sony NX5R Professional Camcorder records to SD/SDHC/SDXC cards (UHS-I compatible) and supports Wi-Fi/NFC for wireless control and file transfers. Additionally, its slow & quick motion features allow for creative flexibility in post-production.

Who Should Buy This Camcorder?

• News crews needing a lightweight, reliable shooter
• Documentary filmmakers who value run-and-gun usability
• Event videographers looking for strong zoom and stabilization

Limitations to Consider
