Sony HXR-NX5R is a professional handheld camcorder that delivers uncompromising image quality and versatile workflow options in a compact, lightweight package.
Design & Build Quality
The black chassis measures 176 mm wide by 199.5 mm high and weighs just 2.11 kg (2110 g). Its ergonomic grip and balanced weight distribution make it comfortable for extended shooting sessions. The camera features a fixed F‑mount lens with an optical zoom range of 20× (4.1–82 mm equivalent) and a maximum aperture of f/3.4, allowing you to capture sharp images even in low light.
Sensor & Image Performance
The core of the HXR‑NX5R is a 1/2.8″ CMOS sensor (25.4 × 2.8 mm) that produces 2.07 MP stills and records video at up to 1920 × 1080 pixels (Full HD). The sensor supports frame rates of 50 fps, ensuring smooth motion capture for sports or fast‑moving subjects.
With a dynamic range that covers from 1 lux minimum illumination to high‑contrast scenes, the camera delivers detailed highlights and deep shadows. The built‑in image stabilizer compensates for handheld shake, enabling steady footage without external gimbals.
Video & Audio Encoding
The camcorder records in multiple formats: AVC, AVCHD, H.264, MPEG‑4. Video bitrate peaks at 50 Mbit/s, providing high‑resolution footage suitable for broadcast or professional editing.
Audio is captured via a built‑in stereo electret condenser microphone and can be routed through two XLR inputs (3‑pin female) with selectable line/mic/mic+48 V options. The internal audio codec supports PCM 16‑bit/48 kHz, while the system uses Dolby Digital for playback.
Display & Viewfinder
The camera houses an 8.8‑inch LCD screen (22.4 cm diagonal) with approximately 1.56 million pixels, providing a clear preview of your shots. An electronic viewfinder offers a separate framing option for precise composition.
Storage & Connectivity
Two memory card slots accommodate SD/SDHC/SDXC cards up to 64 GB and Memory Stick Pro Duo. The device supports dual‑card recording, allowing you to switch between cards without interrupting the shoot.
Connectivity options include:
- HDMI Type A (1 port)
- Composite video out (1 port)
- XLR audio inputs (2 ports)
- Mini stereo jack for headphones (1 port)
- Micro‑USB 2.0 (1 port) for data transfer and firmware updates
- DC input (8.4 V)
Wireless Features
The HXR‑NX5R includes Wi‑Fi (IEEE 802.11b/g/n) for remote control and file transfer, as well as NFC support for quick pairing with compatible devices.
Power & Battery Life
A rechargeable 7.2 V Lithium‑Ion/Lithium‑Polymer battery delivers up to 7.2 hours of continuous recording on a single charge. The included AC adapter and charger ensure you can keep shooting during long events.
Operational Flexibility
The camera offers both manual and auto focus modes, with a minimum focusing distance of 0.01 m (1 cm). White balance is selectable between auto and outdoor presets, while gain control ranges from –6 to +30 dB with automatic gain control (AGC) support.
Supported aspect ratios include 4:3 and 16:9, making the HXR‑NX5R suitable for a wide range of production environments, from documentary work to corporate video.
Additional Features
- Built‑in microphone for quick audio capture without external gear.
- Micro‑USB 2.0 port for firmware updates and data transfer.
- Dual memory slots for redundancy or extended recording time.
- High‑resolution LCD for detailed preview and menu navigation.
- Supports AVCHD, H.264, MPEG‑4 codecs for versatile editing workflows.
The Sony HXR‑NX5R combines professional image quality with a robust feature set in a handheld form factor, making it an ideal choice for filmmakers and videographers who demand reliability and creative flexibility on the go.
