Recording in High Definition

Sony delivers an array of powerful shooting companions with it’s new lineup of HD Handycam® camcorders. Before taking home the camcorder that’s perfect for you, take a closer look at the advantages of each one, especially when it comes to the recording media that they employ.

One thing that’s so amazing about Sony’s new range of HD Handycam® camcorders is spacious storage to accommodate your videos and images. No doubt, nothing beats a high capacity Hard Disk Drive (HDD) when it comes to recording high definition video. Ranging from 40GB, 60GB, or 120GB of storage capacities, you are able to record unparalleled amounts of footage - up to 14 hours and 50 minutes of HD video and up to 48hours of standard resolution footage on a 120GB HDD. With ultra large storage capacities, you won’t ever have to worry about running out on memory and taking bulky tape media along with you.

Sony’s HD Handycam® camcorders that utilize the DVD format enjoy the benefits and the ease-of use of DVD media. With 8cm DVD Discs, playback of your HD videos and images is a convenient experience. Once finalized, you can instantly insert the DVD Disc into most DVD players, including home computers, Blu-ray Disc™ players, and even PlayStation®3 game consoles, and start viewing recorded footage and still images. Using any PC with write capabilities, copying and sharing your videos to friends and family is simply quick and easy.

Truly versatile, this flash-based storage platform can be used across many Sony products, including digital cameras and HDTVs. With Sony’s Memory Stick™, HD video and still images can easily be transferred to any PC for printing, emailing, or sharing with other Memory Stick™ compatible devices. Moreover, camcorders that use Memory Stick™ as media storage takes traveling light to heart, ensuring a compact and ultra small size of your shooting companion.

MiniDV Cassettes allow you to record up to 85 minutes of HD video using the HDV format, which compresses video using MPEG2 and audio in Stereo MPEG1. While it’s relatively older and more traditional, it still remains a reliable and widely accessible recording media option.
