Sony DCR-HC52 Digital Mini-DV Handycam Camcorder - SKU#1813331 Features

  • 1/6" Advanced HAD CCD Imager, 680K Pixels (Gross): 1/6" Advanced HAD (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCD with 680K (effective) pixels provides stunning detail and clarity with exceptional video (up to 500 lines of horizontal resolution) and still image performance
  • 40X Optical / 2000X Digital Zoom: The optical zoom helps to bring the action close up from far away. In addition, Digital Zoom Interpolation means that extreme digital zooming is clearer, with less distortion than previous types of digital zoom
  • 2.7" Touch Panel SwivelScreen LCD Display (123K Pixels): The 2.7" LCD screen provides exceptional viewing clarity with 123K pixels resolution. The display rotates up to 270 degrees for multiple viewing angles, as well as provides sharp, detailed images for monitoring or playback
  • Professional Quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar Lens: Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lenses are designed specifically for compact camcorders, and utilize precision ground optics to maintain the sharpness and contrast found with larger lenses
  • i.LINK Interface (IEEE1394): Quickly transfer images from the camcorder to compatible devices equipped with an IEEE1394 interface, including camcorders, digital VCRs, and PCs, using this high speed, bi-directional digital video/audio connection

  • Stamina Battery Power Management System: When using the Sony InfoLITHIUM Battery, the Stamina Battery Power Management System helps the camcorder prolong battery life for extra long continuous recording times from a single charge
