SONY DCR-VX2100 1/3" 3CCD 2.5" 211K LCD 12X Optical Zoom MiniDV Camcorder

Sound and vision are in your control with the DCR-VX2100, offering the brightest video of all Sony MiniDV models. Its new Advanced HAD progressive scan CCD technology, brings dramatic improvments in low-light performance without using infrared. By increasing the CCD's sensitivity, you capture clearer, brighter video with more lifelike color, in the dimmest conditions. This versatile camera offers up to 530 lines of horizontal resolution, 3x color bandwidth (vs. VHS) and significantly higher S/N ratio, for stunning video!

Its 58mm aspherical lens and duel-position neutral density filter minimize distortion from standard spherical lenses and compensate for varying lighting situation. The VX2100 includes a built-in lens cap to protect the enhanced optics, manual audio control and PCM Digital Stereo Audio in 12 and 16-bit modes. For your viewing pleasure, it also has a manual focus and zoom ring, built-in color bar generator, and 16:9 wide screen recording. The 2.5-inch 211K pixel LCD display makes images sharp and detailed during playback or recording. The Precision Hybrid SwivelScreen LCD screen is bright enough for clear viewing in sunlight or bright light, virtually eliminating the "wash-out" common with traditional LCD screens.

An intelligent accessory shoe, both 12x optical and 48x digital zoom, advanced optical SteadyShot picture stabilization and up to seven hours of operation with the optional NP-F960 InfoLithium battery ensure your photographic adventure won't be brought down due to lack of power or an unsteady hand. Sony's ready to help you bring home the best possible video memories of you and your family's life!
