DCR-HC85
Mini DV Handycam
|
When image quality matters most, choose Sony's DCR-HC85 MiniDV Handycam® Camcorder. It features a 1/3.6” advanced HAD™ CCD imager which captures up to 2 megapixels of video information, translating into 530 lines of crisp, clear horizontal resolution. It even allows still image capture on Memory Stick DUO™ up to a huge 1600 x 1200 resolution. Combined with the new glare-reducing Carl Zeiss® Vario-Sonnar® T* lens, the DCR-HC85 gives you video that is larger and more vivid than any other camcorder in its class. Despite its advanced imaging capabilities, the DCR-HC85 remains a joy to use with features like the Easy Handycam button, Super SteadyShot® image stabilization and an intelligent pop-up flash. |
