Sony is debuting with a new hard drive Handycam camcorder, Sony DCR-SR65, with a nice sleek body and high capacity to capture all you want. The 40GB (built-in hard disk drive) Sony SR65 camcorder delivers continuous recording times (LP mode) of up to 27 hours.
“Our new hard drive models incorporate intelligent and fun-to-use functions that will make people feel more confident in their moviemaking abilities†said Kelly Davis, director of camcorder marketing at Sony Electronics.
Hybrid movie recording on an optional Memory Stick PRO Duo media card as well as hard drive is available on the Sony DCR-SR65 to extend its recording options. Almost 11 hours of video (LP mode) can be stored on Sony’s new 16GB media card. You can even use the HDD to transfer movies and images that are already on your PC.
The DCRSR65’s 1/6″ Advanced HAD (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCD with 680K (effective) video pixels provides stunning detail and clarity with exceptional video and still image performance. You’ll take great looking digital still images with 1,000K effective pixels. The 25x optical zoom helps to bring the action close up from far away. In addition, the 2000x digital zoom with interpolation means that extreme digital zooming is clearer, with less distortion than previous types of digital zooms.
