Take your movies to new levels of detail

Achieving back ground de-focus movies thanks to the CX900E Handycam®. A large, ultra-sensitive 20MP 1.0-type Exmor™ R CMOS sensor and powerful BIONZ X image processor capture pin-sharp clarity. Low light’s not a problem, thanks to a powerful ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* lens.

More detail, less noise

Capture video in pin-sharp clarity with a large 1.0-type Exmor™ R CMOS sensor with up to 20MP. With a light receiving area approximately six times the size of the CMOS sensors found in a conventional Handycam®, you’ll get reduced noise and vivid detail even in low light.

Let more light in

A bright ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* lens has a wide aperture that lets in more light to create professional effects – try capturing your subject in sharp focus against a smoothly-blurred background. A unique T* coating helps reduce flare and reflections for high-contrast images.

Call the shots with manual settings

Capture movies with easy, versatile manual controls. Experiment with aperture, exposure time, and motion blur with two ND filters, and use the control dial to fix ISO, shutter speed, and more. Find your subject and go closer with a manual lens ring to adjust focus and zoom.
