Remember the tricorders on Star Trek? They didn't need any tapes or moving parts to record high resolution sound and video, and now, neither do you! Utilizing both an internal 16GB flash drive AND a removable SDHC memory card, this camcorder uses less power, responds faster, and is more shock resistant than either disk or tape systems. (Even so, don't strap it to a soccer ball for those ball's-eye view shots: it ain't THAT shock resistant!)
A 3.3 mega pixel CMOS sensor gives you full 1920 x 1080 High Definition video and beautiful digital stills, aided and abetted by 12X power HD zoom, SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization, and Instant AutoFocus. Offering both 24p Cinema and 30p Progressive modes, it can record up to six hours on the internal drive and up to three hours on an 8GB external card, for a grand total of up to nine hours! A mini HDMI port gives you additional display choices, and the advanced accessory shoe lets you further enhance your capabilities with optional accessories.
