Sony HVR-A1E HDV PAL Camcorder

The Sony HVR-A1E HDV PAL Camcorder is the entry level HDV camcorder that records high definition video as well as DVCAM and DV standard-definition video. The camera uses a single 3-megapixel CMOS chip to capture images. The use of a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) chip allows the camera to capture amazing high quality images while consuming less battery power and making the camera smaller overall. The Enhanced Imaging Processor (EIP), a Sony created technology, enables the camcorder to capture and process high-definition video and high resolution still images with the highest levels of contrast and detail.

This model is specifically for PAL system video applications.
