The Z7U sounds like exactly the camera we’re looking for… except that the “standard” Zeiss lens is only 12x.
I have searched and not had any luck in finding a 2x telephoto convertor that goes between the lens and the camera, as opposed to the 72mm ones that mount in front of the lens.
Any suggestions?
Hi,
That’s a very informative video.
I’m actually considering the HVR-Z7U as our next camcorder.
I just want to know some more:
1. how is its low-light performance compared to the sony PD170?
2. how heavy/light is it, like compared to the panasonic DVX100 or canon XL1?
thank you.

how heavy/light is it? — for glidecam 4000 interest!
more…
1. what is the power-up time?
2. actual push-record response time?
thanks

I AM IN THE SAME SITUATION.
Does anyone know of where we can find a 2x telephoto convertor that goes between the lens and camera?
Please email me (and Steve Young) if you know of where we can purchase this telephoto converter.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
