Sony Enhances New Three-Megapixel Camcorder
July 01, 2004
San Diego, CA - The new Sony DCR-PC350 MiniDV Handycam camcorder will be available this September, the manufacturer has announced.
This latest 3.31-megapixel, single CCD camcorder comes with a Handycam Station -- a tabletop cradle for charging and connecting to a TV or PC.
The unit's color filter employs a new image processing technique for converting brightness more naturally, even when taking video and still shots of moving subjects with drastic changes in scenery and color.
The camcorder's CCD imager reduces noise on three still image sizes: 640 x 480 for sharing as e-mail attachments, in addition to 1,600 x 1,200, and 2,016 x 1,512 for high quality prints.
The Handycam Station charges the DCR-PC350 camcorder and connects it to a TV or PC. It comes with S-video and an audio/video terminal for connecting the unit to a TV, as well as a USB 1.1 port and an i.LINK (IEEE-1394) digital interface for connection to compatible PCs.
The DCR-PC350 camcorder's new cinematic effect mode automatically engages the unit's progressive and 16 x 9 wide modes, while recording at 30 frames per second.
Additional features include:
· 2.5-inch Precision SwivelScreen Hybrid LCD Display –
· Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* Lens
· Memory Stick PRO Duo Media Slot
· 10X Optical/120X Precision Digital Video Zoom
