Great video quality
The picture clarity is excellent and the colors are much more vibrant than the other brand cameras that we tried out prior to buying!

Wow! What a camera.
We needed to upgrade our cameras. After reading a few reviews about the PXW-Z150, we decided to give it a try. It is far and away one of the best cameras we've ever used. It performs better than a lot of cameras that cost thousands more, and the images are always rock solid and stunning. if you're thinking of moving up to 4K, this camera deserves a lot of consideration. Incredible camera at an incredible price.

No I cannot recommend this Z150
The camera looses focus tracking in AUTO mode, Auto focus tracking is not a problem in manual mode. Low Light is NOT good its too noisy -- considering its a large sensor it does not handle low light well at all. The menu buttons are difficult to use on top of the camera. It does not live up the the hype, I was disappointed with the performance.

Run & Gun
I bought this camera in June to use as an EFP camera for our church. They had been using DSLR's to do shoots which any professional shooter can tell you is annoying in post when syncing audio and other cameras. I shoot both in a studio setting and outside on EFPs for promos and talking heads. Picture is beautiful and even though I use an external mic the majority of the time the internal mics does a great job. I primarily use them for nat sound i... Show More

Performs WAY above it's class. Not a big X70!
I got the Z150 to add to my collection and be a partner to my X70, FS5 and A7s-II and EX1r. I originally expected this to be just an X70 inside a bigger body. After two jobs I discovered I was very wrong. Not only does it have all the obvious external differences, it's image quality is actually better. It has a newer generation 1 inch-type stacked sensor with onboard RAM and it seems to me to have considerably improved image processing and noise ... Show More

A 422/4KUHD replacement for the EX3
I have been waiting for a good all-in-one camera to replace the EX3/EX1 and this is IT! So great to have HD 422 and UHD with a fantastic G series clear scan lens. Bought two for a week long job and enjoyed the small footprint and quick setup compared to the unwieldy and quirky FS7/FS5 and slow interchangeable kit lenses. The reviewer that returned his camera due to the EVF turning off didn't read the manual to know it has two settings. Too bad, b... Show More

LCD screen going dark is not a defect
In an earlier review someone else said . . . I retuned the camera brcause the LED screen go out when camera moves. Beware of it. It's too bad you returned this great camera before you got to know it because is not defective. The camera has a gorgeous OLED viewfinder at the rear of the camera. Absolutely fantastic picture. But OLEDs have a shorter lifespan than LCD screens and so Sony builds proximity sensors into their cameras that automatically ... Show More

Better than expected
Im a photographer for the Smithsonian and have been wanting to do short films for the museum. I looked at a number of cameras and it came down to the PXW-Z150 and the FS700r. I finally decided on the Z150 do to the run and gun portability. I was initially concerned about the Sony menu system, but its actually pretty easy, and makes sense. I still have a few things to learn about how some of the features interact with one another, but overall, its... Show More

Good replacement for the NX5U!
I've been waiting for a camcorder with one large sensor for a while! This is it! Having used a NX5u and two AX2000's for the last 5 years I will do alot of comparisons to the Z150 and these older cams. Very similar in appearance, size, layout and functionality. The Z150 is going to be for me somewhat future proof at least for the next few years. With the remote control app it works great as an unmanned camera. As a web streaming stand alone camer...

Excellent, Just Excellent
I've been using Sony A7S, Sony FS7, Sony A7SII, Canon C100 and BMPCC for the past few years. It's crazy to think this way but I actually enjoy the Sony PXW-Z150 more than any of those other cams. There is just something so beautiful about having a small self contained package that can do it all... 10 bit, 4:2:2, good low light, UHD, XLR audio, internal ND, slow motion and a great zoom range for only three grand. It really doesn't get better than this. I can totally see myself grabbing z150 instead of the FS7 on some jobs. It's just so much faster to use.

Just what I needed
I needed to upgrade from my HVR-Z5U and HDR-AX2000. The PXW-Z150 fit what I needed and so far I'm very pleased.

Great camera, excellent detail on zom
Great camera thus far. I use this for recording severe weather. The camera captures excellent detail when zooming in on rotating storms. It does have the dreaded rolling shutter issue with lightning, but perhaps this can be solved with recording in slow mo @ 120 FPS.

After only an hour of use.
Having used the new Sony PXW-Z150 for only under an hour and only have owned a Sony HVR-Z1U camcorder before to compare to, I have to say I was surprised at how much shorter the Z-150 looks. It's only about a 1.5- 2 shorter but makes the whole camcorder appear more compact. The feel of the handle and controls I don't think have changed at all (that's a plus for me). When I first powered up the Z-150 I noticed the LCD screen turned on and off almo... Show More

Love this camera!
I really enjoy using this camera! I have been researching for quite a while in order to find the right camera to compliment the style of videography that I use. I have been looking for a camcorder that gave me the right combination of an in-studio to a run-and-gun type of shoot. Working for a sports marketing and event management company, I need to be able to keep up with some fast pace sporting events. I also work with several large corporations... Show More

So far so good
I just purchased this camera to replace an EX1R and I have to say that it is a nice upgrade. The 4K is obviously great along with the 120fps. The menus are typical of Sony so you'll need to dig around to change some settings. Overall it is a great camera so far.

So far so plastic
OK I have not had the camcorder long but in the first week two things are very apparent A) this is a big camcorder and B) this is a big plastic camcorder. I do not rent out my gear and I am meticulous when it comes to caring for my own stuff. So with that said, the camcorder will work in three years exactly how it works today. Very different from the PXW X70 I had previously. It feels double the size. So far it is hard to distinguish video qualit... Show More
