Sony HDR-SR1 AVCHD 4MP 30GB High-Definition Hard Disk Drive Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom

With this high definition digital camcorder you’ll need to make sure makeup is properly applied and that every hair is in it’s place in your family videos. Using AVCHD technology, video is compressed using MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) which is a better compression scheme than MPEG-2 allowing for less storage space but better quality. You can also record in Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround sound with the built-in microphone.

All this without having to carry a couple Mini-DV tapes… but you better carry a laptop to backup your video as the disc space disappears quickly in high-definition.

Boasting a generous 3.5″ Wide 16:9 Hybrid Touch Panel Clear Photo LCD screen and multiple connectivity options, you’ll have complete control from capture to cut. For the first time ever, you can record high-definition video directly to a Hard Disk Drive (HDD) with the HDR-SR1 Handycam(R) camcorder. In addition, the dual HD/SD format allows you to record in standard definition as well. You will also be able to freeze time in flawless detail with a 4.0 Megapixel still capture feature to the HDD or Memory Stick(R) Duo Media.
