The Project

In this podcast, Obs Doc Self-Shooter Sarah Stevenson will share her experiences of shooting with Sony’s new handheld Z280 – which as she puts it, is: ‘everything you love about the FS7 (and more!), but in a compact PMW200 body’. Using her first-hand experience from the field, she’ll answer your questions about the pros and cons of shooting obs doc scenes with the new Z280. Sarah will compare it to Sony’s last camera offering of this size, the PMW200 and the obs doc workhorse the PXW-FS7. She will also share her thoughts on the Z280’s brand new features which could revolutionize the way you shoot your obs doc in the future.
