Sony DCR-PC330 Digital Handycam MiniDV 3Megapixel CCD

Sony DCR-PC330

Review & Specification:

hnRhnR0 MiniDV Handycam camcorder is the industry's first single-CCD (charge coupled device), 3.31-megapixel model, affording customers the highest quality combination of digital video and still camera optics.

The new DCR-PC330 MiniDV Handycam model has an Advanced HADTM (hole accumulated diode) CCD imager, a Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T lens and a new advanced primary colour filter, which together create outstanding video and digital photographs.

Beyond Sony's standard advanced features such as Super NightShot infrared system for shooting video in total darkness and the Super SteadyShot system for image stabilization, this new model also has a new smooth interval record feature, enabling smooth time-lapse recording.

Along with a 2.5-inch hybrid touch panel liquid crystal display (LCD) for an easy-access, easy-to-see menu, the new 3-D user menu is customizable into a Personal Menu. Once users assemble their favorite features into their own Personal Menu, it takes just one touch on the LCD to facilitate a personal shooting style.

The DCR-PC330 MiniDV Handycam camcorder weighs just over a pound with its battery. It is smaller than a paperback dictionary, but has the versatility and sophistication of camcorders twice its size.

The new three-colour filter uses proprietary technology that quadruples the area for each primary colour, resulting in more true-to-life photographs and video. Like the human eye distinguishes colour through red, green and blue photoreceptors, the new primary colour filter uses the same colours to deliver vibrant and colour-rich video and still images.

The manual focus ring together with the 10X optical/120X precision digital zoom gives the user even more options for creativity and composition.

The DCR-PC330 MiniDV Handycam camcorder also has specific Sony still camera features for shooting crisp clear pictures in poor lighting conditions.
