About Sony HVR-V1
The Sony HVR-V1U HDV camcorder, the world's first 1080p24 HDV acquisition tool. The HVR-V1U camcorder, along with the optional companion HVR-DR60 HDV Hard Drive Recorder represents the latest addition to Sony's tremendously popular line of professional HDV products, & does NOT replace any of the existing camcorders.
The HVR-V1U camcorder provides affordable HD acquisition by offering true 1080p image capture in a small camcorder form factor. Three ClearVid CMOS Sensors, combined with Sony's 14-bit Enhanced Image Processor, create an exceptional camcorder capable of capturing images at 1080p24, 1080p30, & 1080 60i.
