About Sony HDR-TD20V

The Sony HDR-TD20V Full HD 3D Handycam Camcorder features dual full HD sensors that shoot true 3D videos with 1920 x 1080 60p/24p resolution. Capture eye-popping home movies that will blow your friends and family away when viewed on your 3D HDTV or the sufficient 3.5" LCD TruBlack display, which requires no special 3D glasses.

It features an internal 64GB embedded flash memory for storing your footage.

In order to match the audio recording with the high-quality video, the camcorder features a 5.1 channel surround sound microphone with wind noise reduction, which helps keep the all-encompassing dynamic audio as clear as possible.

In addition to the integrated microphone, there are also microphone and headphone jacks, as well as integrated Clear Phase stereo speakers for true, dynamic audio during field playback. The HDR-TD20V is even equipped with a manual control dial, Active Interface Shoe for attaching various Intelligent Accessories, an HDMI type-C mini output, a built-in light and flash for the 20.4 megapixel still image capture function, Highlight Playback, Event Browse, Intelligent Auto and Golf Shot.
