• Sony Mini DV Camcorder DCRHC38

Features

• MiniDV: The MiniDV format records high-quality digital video on small tapes, allowing for an exceptionally compact camcorder body.
• 1/6" Advanced HAD CCD: This imaging device picks up stunning details with 680K pixels, which deliver up to 500 lines of resolution, meaning you get outstanding video and still pictures with incredible clarity.
• Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens: Capture vivid images and true-to-life color saturation, even with subtle tones.
• 2.5" touch-panel SwivelScreen: Get a clear picture of the action during recording and playback—this LCD screen rotates up to 270 degrees for easy viewing. The touch-panel screen gives you access to the menu.
• Zoom: The 40x optical zoom brings the action close with minimized distortion, while the digital zoom can be increased to an extraordinary 2000x before or after shooting.
• Image stabilization: The Super SteadyShot picture stabilization system uses motion sensors to ensure a smooth and steady picture.
• On-screen controls: For additional control of the camcorder, the DCR-HC38 features zoom and record buttons on the frame of the LCD screen. This allows the user more flexibility when holding the camcorder, especially in overhead or low angle shots.
• Easy Handycam button: Just press the Easy Handycam button to reset controls to the basic settings and make recording easy.
• Low light mode: The NightShot Plus Infrared System allows you to record color video up to 20' away in low light.
• USB streaming: Stay connected to family and friends by broadcasting live video with audio over the Internet using the USB interface.
• i.LINK DV: The i.LINK DV interface provides a digital high-speed, bi-directional interface which enables audio/video communication between two compatible devices. This connection allows for pure digital transfer between devices equipped with an IEEE1394 interface, such as camcorders, digital VTRs, capture cards and PCs.
• Power: Charge the battery at anytime because unlike NiCad (Nickel Cadmium) batteries, Sony's rechargeable lithium ion batteries are not subject to a life shortening memory effect. The exclusive AccuPower meter displays the battery time remaining in minutes, in either the viewfinder or on the LCD screen.
