The definitive tool for content creators has arrived. Building on the legacy of its predecessor, this camera integrates professional-grade internals into a compact, vlog-centric body. At its heart lies a 26MP Exmor R back-illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor, paired with the powerful BIONZ XR image processing engine. This combination delivers low-noise imagery, high sensitivity, and the ability to record 4K at up to 60p with 5.6K oversampling, ensuring footage is crisp, detailed, and rich in color data. The inclusion of S-Cinetone and Creative Looks allows creators to achieve film-like aesthetics straight out of the camera without extensive color grading.
Designed for the modern hybrid shooter, the camera features an advanced autofocus system with 759 phase-detection points, offering Real-time Eye AF for humans, animals, and birds. The “Cinematic Vlog Setting” enables intuitive control over look and mood, while the Product Showcase Setting ensures instant focus transitions between the presenter and an object. Significantly, the body has been redesigned to accommodate the larger Z-series battery (NP-FZ100), providing extended recording times essential for on-location shoots. The updated kit lens (E PZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS II) offers improved autofocus tracking performance, making this a complete, ready-to-shoot package.
