Sony HDRH-HC5E HDV High Definition Camcorder £699.00
Shoot in glorious High Definition with the advanced HDRH-HC5E from Sony. Using HDV tapes you ll enjoy up to 4 times better resolution compared to standard definition. The HC5E s ClearVid CMOS sensor guarantees exceptionally high resolution and high sensitivity for smear-free images. Even in reduced lighting or on a bright sunny day every last detail is preserved, even in the shade. Your recordings will also benefit from the top quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T lens. Its multi-layer T coating minimizes light reflection on the lens surface, eliminating ghosting and flaring. Less reflection also means more natural light is able to reach the imaging chip, which will make your images look more natural and vibrant. It also doubles as a digital camera - you can capture still images up to 4 megapixel quality and even take up to 2 megapixel still images while recording movies. Preview and playback your movies on the high resolution 3.5 inch fold-out LCD screen. The HC5E also uses MiniDV tapes perfect if you already own a MiniDV format camera and want to upgrade to high definition, but don t want to lose all your precious memories. You can connect the HC5E to your HD TV via the HDMI output or you can transfer your footage to your PC and edit your masterpiece before burning to a DVD.
