Digital Handycam Camcorder

Model number: DCR-VX2000

AUDIO/VIDEO PERFORMANCE:

12X Optical/48X Digital Zoom:

Helps bring the action close up from far away. Precision Digital Zoom technology means that extreme digital zooming is cleaner and clearer than ever before, with less blocking and distortion than most other types of digital zoom.

Memory Mode (digital still camera function):

Capture VGA resolution (640 x 480) still images and store them on removable Memory Stick storage media. A 4MB Memory Stick supplied.

2 Mode Neutral Density Filter:

Compensates for unique lighting situations such as studio lights or direct sunlight.

530 Lines of horizontal resolution:

Using 3 Advanced HAD CCDs combined with advanced design technologies, the DCR-VX2000 provides stunning performance of 530 horizontal lines of resolution.

2.5" Precision SwivelScreen™ Precision Color LCD (200k Pixels):

Provides excellent viewing clarity with improved resolution. The 200,000 Pixel LCD display makes images sharp and detailed during playback or recording.

Up to 9 hours Stamina® recording with optional NP-F960 battery:

The Sony DCR-VX2000 DV Handycam will record for up to 9 hours on one charge of the optional NP-F960 InfoLithium L series battery.

Control-L (LANC) editing interface

5-mode A/V fader

16:9 Widescreen recording:

Allows the user to record in a true 'widescreen' or anamorphic aspect ratio. When used with a 16:9 widescreen compatible TV the camcorder is able to display a similar aspect ratio to that of popular films without having to crop off the top and bottom and losing important data and resolution.

Three Advanced 'HAD'™ 1/3" CCD's, 380k pixels each:

High quality HAD design CCD imager that reduces noise in the video signal to improve signal-to-noise ratio by up to 2X that of conventional CCDs. Particularly effective when shooting in dark situations.

5-mode program A/E

58mm 7-Element Precision Aspherical Lens:

Professional quality glass optics provides exceptional detail and clarity with none of the geometric distortion associated with large spherical lenses.

12/16-Bit PCM Digital Stereo with Audio Dub:

16-bit recording capability offers the same, outstanding sound quality as Compact Disc. 12-bit dubbing capability enables you to add additional stereo music or narration without disturbing the original soundtracks.

EDITING/CONVENIENCE

20-Segment assemble edit

i.LINK® DV Interface (IEEE-1394):

Allows high speed bi-directional digital communication between any two devices equipped with an i.LINK interface, including camcorders, digital VTR's, capture cards, and computers.

A/D conversion and pass-through

MSAC-US1 Memory Stick USB adapter supplied:

Allows for easy connection to a computer for downloading and uploading still images from the camera's Memory Stick storage media.

DV Digital Video Recording:

Offering higher resolution, wider color bandwidth, and lower noise than virtually any other analog format.

Optical Super SteadyShot® Picture Stabilization System:

Eliminates high frequency shake and vibration without compromising picture quality. Uses motion sensors and optical lenses that do not change or degrade the quality like some other stabilization systems.

Progressive Scan Mode:

Progressive Scan CCDs capture a complete frame of video rather than interlacing two separate fields to produce a video frame. This high performance system eliminates the stair stepping effect that can be seen in standard interlaced systems when capturing still images. Images will be sharp and clear with excellent definition.

4 MB Memory Stick® digital media, supplied

Manual Control of all primary functions

Precision Color Viewfinder (180k Pixels):

Provides a high resolution image of subjects

InfoLithium® Battery with AccuPower™ Meter:

Rechargeable Lithium Ion battery means no "Memory Effect" like other battery types can experience. Sony's exclusive AccuPower meter continuously displays the battery time remaining in minutes, in the viewfinder or LCD screen.

Drop-Frame Time Code

Intelligent Accessory Shoe:

Provides power, on/off, and special operational commands to a selection of Sony Intelligent Accessories.
