VISION ON The viewfinder of the old Z280 is gone, replaced by a screen on an articulating arm that’s better for on-the-shoulder work
HOW THE Z300 STACKS UP AGAINST 4K RIVALS
Sony PXW-Z280 The Z280 remains a workhorse with a similar 3-CMOS 1/2-inch sensor and SDI/HDMI outputs, but the Z300 surpasses it with its Bionz XR, AI capabilities and improved LCD and cloud integration. The Z280 will stay in the range – for now.
JVC GY-HC550 With a one-inch sensor, 4K/60p and advanced IP workflow tools like built-in FTP and streaming, the GY-HC550 is strong for live events. JVC’s cam focuses on network versatility, but doesn’t match the PXW-Z300’s AI or recording formats.
Panasonic AG-CX350 A lightweight one-inch camcorder with HLG HDR, HEVC 10-bit 4:2:2 recording and 20x zoom. It includes RTMP/RTSP streaming and NDI/HX1 output, though doesn’t offer the same level of AF intelligence or signature authentication.
Canon XF605 Canon’s XF605 features a one- inch sensor, 15x optical zoom, 4K/60p recording and Canon Log 3 gamma. It lacks the AI-assisted tracking of the Sony but excels in colour, and has a solid streaming feature set with IP integration.
