Sony DCR-DVD108 DVD Handycam Camcorder - DCRDVD108

Versatile and powerful—the DCR-DVD108 Handycam® DVD camcorder takes video capturing to a new level. Record directly to DVD-R/-RW/+RW/+R Dual Layer media formats1. The built-in Memory Stick Duo™ media slot and USB 2.0 connection1 allow you to show off your video almost as fast as you captured it. The Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® Lens with 40x optical/200x digital zoom keeps you close to the action while the Super SteadyShot® technology and Super NightShot® feature make sure it looks perfect.

Features:

1/6" Advanced HAD™ CCD Imager, 680K Pixels Gross
1/6" Advanced HAD™ (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCD with 340K (effective) pixels provides stunning detail and clarity with exceptional video (up to 500 lines of horizontal resolution) and still image performance.

40X Optical/200X Digital Zoom
The optical zoom helps to bring the action close up from far away. In addition, the digital zoom interpolation means that extreme digital zooming is clearer, with less distortion than previous types of digital zooms.

Professional Quality Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® Lens
Carl Zeiss lenses have an advanced optical multi-layer coating that offers less glare and flare with increased contrast. This results in vivid image brilliance, true-to-life color saturation, and perfect renditions of subtle tones.

DVD Format Video Recording
The DVD recording format delivers digital picture and sound quality comparable to that of MiniDV, but on DVD. Playback of the DVDs couldn't be simpler. After finalizing the disc in the camcorder, the disc can play back in most DVD Players, computers and even PlayStation®2 and PlayStation®3 video game consoles2.

DVD-R/-RW/+RW and +R Dual Layer Compatible1
The DCR-DVD108 is compatible with a variety of DVD formats allowing the ease of use and simplicity found in DVD Media. With DVD+RW media there is not a need to finalize the disc (minimum recording required). Simply remove the disc and insert the media into a compatible DVD player.

2.5" Touch Panel SwivelScreen™ LCD Display3 (123K Pixels)
The SwivelScreen provides excellent viewing clarity with the camcorder using the touch panel. The high resolution 123K pixel LCD screen rotates up to 270 degrees for multiple viewing angles providing sharp, detailed images for monitoring or playback.

Memory Stick Duo™ Media Slot4
Capture still images up to 640x280 resolution, directly onto Memory Stick Duo™ Media for easy transfer to PCs for e-mailing, printing or sharing with other compatible Memory Stick® media compatible devices.

Super SteadyShot® Image Stabilization
An advanced version of Sony's SteadyShot® Image Stabilization system that controls an even higher range of shake and vibration frequencies, to achieve an even higher level of smoothness without degradation of video like some other image stabilization systems.

InfoLithium® Battery with AccuPower™ Meter System6
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.

Manual Focus
With manual focus, you can manually adjust the focus of the camcorder using the touch panel. Manual focusing also allows you to control the focus in difficult situations where either the environment or the subject does not allow the camcorder's auto focus to perform optimally, such as when shooting through a window or in a crowded environment.

Super NightShot® Plus Infrared System
With Super NightShot Plus Infrared System you can capture natural looking video, even when shooting in low light. Record subjects up to 20 feet away using the built-in infrared system, but without the overall monochrome color common with earlier low-light recording systems.

Stamina® Battery Power Management System
Using the optional NP-FH1000 InfoLithium® battery, the DCR-DVD108 can continuously record for up to 9 hours (LCD or viewfinder) on a single full charge, providing extra long battery life1.

Scene Selection Modes
Scene Selection modes make recording easy even when filming in challenging situations. Choose from beach, candle, fireworks, landscape, portrait, snow, sports lesson, spotlight, twilight and sunrise & sunset.

Picture Effects
Get creative when recording or playing back your videos with Picture Effect modes. Effects available in camera mode: monotone, pastel and sepia. The effects available in playback mode: monotone, pastel and sepia.
