1/6" Advanced HAD™ CCD Imager, 680K Pixels Gross

1/6" Advanced HAD™ (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCD with 340K (effective) pixels provides stunning detail and clarity with exceptional video (up to 500 lines of horizontal resolution) and still image performance.

DVD Format Video Recording2

The DVD recording format delivers digital picture and sound quality comparable to that of MiniDV, but on DVD. Playback of the DVDs couldn't be simpler. After finalizing the disc in the camcorder, the disc can play back in most DVD Players, computers and even PlayStation® 2 video game consoles.

SteadyShot® Picture Stabilization System

Picture stabilization system that uses motion sensors to detect and compensate for camera “shake” without compromising picture quality like some other digital stabilization systems.

Super NightShot® Plus Infrared System

With Sony's Super NightShot Infrared System you can capture natural looking video, even when shooting in low light. Record subjects up to 20 feet away using the built-in infrared system, but without the overall monochrome color common with earlier low-light recording systems.

Fader Effects

Enhance your personal videos by adding professional looking fader effects. Choose from Black, Overlap, White and Wipe.

Easy Handycam Button

Using a camcorder can be intimidating for some people, so with a press of the Easy Handycam button, most of the advanced features of the camcorder are "locked out" leaving only the buttons essential for recording operational.

Professional Quality Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® Lens

Carl Zeiss lenses have an advanced optical multi-layer coating that offers less glare and flare with increased contrast. This results in vivid image brilliance, true-to-life color saturation and perfect renditions of subtle tones.

2.5" Touch Panel SwivelScreen™ LCD Display5 (123K Pixels)

Provides excellent viewing clarity with improved resolution. The high resolution 123K pixel LCD screen rotates up to 270 degrees for multiple viewing angles providing sharp, detailed images for monitoring or playback.

Manual Focus

Allows the user to manually adjust the focus of the camcorder using the touch panel. Manual focusing also allows the user to control the focus in difficult situations where either the environment or the subject does not allow the camcorder's auto focus to perform optimally, such as when shooting through a window or in a crowded environment.

Picture Effects

Get creative when recording or playing back your videos with Sony's Picture Effect Modes. Effects available in Camera mode: Monotone, Mosaic, Pastel and Sepia. Effects available in Playback mode: Monotone, Mosaic, Pastel and Sepia.

Battery Information

At the touch of a button, battery information is displayed on the LCD screen when charging and when the camcorder is turned off. The display will show how much the battery is charged, in 10% increments and the recordable time left when using the LCD screen or in the viewfinder.

20X Optical/800X Digital Zoom

The optical zoom helps to bring the action close up from far away. In addition the Digital Zoom Interpolation means that extreme digital zooming is clearer, with less distortion than previous types of digital zooms.

DVD-R/RW and +RW Compatible4

The DCR-DVD105 is compatible with a variety of DVD formats allowing the easy of use and simplicity found in DVD Media. With DVD+RW media there is not a need to finalize the disc (minimum recording required). Simply remove the disc and insert the media into a compatible DVD Player.

InfoLithium® Battery with AccuPower™ Meter System

Charge the battery at anytime because unlike NiCad (Nickel Cadmium) batteries, Sony's rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries are not subject to a life shortening "memory effect". Sony's exclusive AccuPower™ meter displays the battery time remaining in minutes, in either the viewfinder or on the LCD screen.

Stamina® Battery Power Management System1

Using the optional NP-FP90 InfoLithium® Battery, the DCR-DVD105 can continuously record for up to 8 hours on a single full charge, providing extra long battery life.

Program AE (Auto Exposure) Modes

Program AE modes make recording easy even when filming in challenging situations. Choose from Beach & Ski, Landscape, Portrait, Spotlight, Sports Lesson, and Sunset & Moon.

Fader Effects

Enhance your personal videos by adding professional looking fader effects. Choose from Black, Overlap, White and Wipe.

Room for improvement Learned too little to late about finalizing my videos before removing them from the camcorder. Would have been much easier to use a USB cable to hook up to my laptop to view and copy videos. March 8, 2009
AWESOME CAMERA!!!!!!! I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS CAMERA, IT IS EASY TO USE, AND IT LOOKS REALLY COOL!!!! THAT OTHER LADY OR GUY THAT WROTE THE LAST REVIEW IS WRONG!!! THIS CAMERA IS SUPER COOL!!! February 23, 2009
Not a good Purchase This product does not come with a USB cable and is not compatible with most computers. It also does not have a place for a memory card which strikes me as odd, given the high price of the product. I would not recommend this product, save your money. December 26, 2008
