The Sony HD1000U Digital HD Viceo camera Recorder gives every amateur moviemaker a professional system for recording home movies, sporting events, or making their first film. The 10X optical zoom and 20X digital lens offer plenty of power for getting those crystal-clear close-ups or distant shots on the run. A built-in converter makes it simple to create standard DVD productions, and the 2.7-inch LCD screen swivels freely for viewing in any position. Record on consumer miniDVD, or choose the DigitalMaster professional tape for storage, and utilize slow-motion capture for those fast-moving sporting events. Pick automatic or manual focus, and utilize the built-in microphone for quality high-definition sound.
