- Model: Sony DCRTRV520 Digital Camcorder
Review Sony DCRTRV520 Digital Camcorder / Sony DCR-TRV520:Sony DCR-TRV520 Battery Slim. This is a 7. 4 Volt, 2000 mAh, Li-Ion Battery. Dimensions: 2. 77 x 1. 49 x 0. 79. 100% OEM compatible. The Sony DCR-TRV520 uses the Digital 8 format, which digitally records images onto standard Hi8 tapes. If you're upgrading from an 8mm or Hi8 camera, this format gives you the combined benefits of digital image quality and backwards compatibility with your old tapes. [+]A 25x optical zoom and 450x digital zoom will bring your shots closer, and Sony SteadyShot image stabilization technology will help to keep shakes and wobbles out of your video. For audio, the DCR-TRV520 offers 16-bit PCM digital stereo with 12-bit dubbing. If you prefer to shoot in the 16:9 widescreen ratio, this is also an option. To compose your films, you can use either the standard eyepiece viewfinder or a 3. 5-inch swivel color LCD display. With Sony's LaserLink feature, playback can be a snap-you just aim the DCR-TRV520 at the LaserLink receiver on select Sony TVs from up to 16 feet away, press play, and enjoy your videos directly on your TV-without wires or cassette adapters. If you're planning to digitally edit your videos on your computer, the Sony includes an industry standard IEEE 1394 port (also known as iLink and FireWire) for image transfer and a Control-L (LANC) interface for connection to editing equipment. Sony's Super NightShot infrared system lets you capture footage in two modes. In standard NightShot mode, the camera uses available visible and infrared light to illuminate the subject. With Super NightShot, an infrared LED on the front of the camera acts like an infrared spotlight: to the naked eye, it just looks like a standard red LED, but it produces enough infrared light to effectively illuminate the area in front of the camera. The camera includes numerous extra features, including 14 picture effects and a five-mode audio-video fader, end search (which automatically forwards your tape to the end of the last footage shot), edit search, seven-mode program auto exposure, pass-through analog AV inputs, and an intelligent shoe for accessories. |

- Model: Sony CCDTRV87 Hi8 Camcorder
Review Sony CCDTRV87 Hi8 Camcorder / Sony CCD-TRV87:Experience the picture quality of Hi8 XR recording, the detail of a high-resolution image sensor and the fun of Super LaserLink wireless transmission. Enjoying great video on your television has never been this easy. With the Super LaserLink system, you no longer need to connect your camcorder to your TV or use clunky videocassette adaptors. This is Sony's most feature packed Hi8 camcorder. The CCDTRV87 features a high-resolution CCD with 470, 000 pixels, images are much sharper and finely detailed than those shot with regular 8mm and most other Hi8 camcorders. Another thing you don't need to worry about is holding the camcorder perfectly still. Sony's SteadyShot system uses sophisticated motion sensors to remove unwanted picture shake. With Sony's Hyper-Precision CCD image sensors, you're not sacrificing image size or picture quality. 2. 5-inch LCD Viewscreen makes recording a snap by allowing you to see your recordings as you make them. [+]It also makes recording events from difficult angles much simpler. Plus, you can watch your masterpiece after you've recorded it. Hi-Fi Stereo Audio Recording and Playback delivers wider dynamic range, no background tape hiss, reduced sound smearing, and better localization, for improved sonic performance. Sony's exclusive Hi8 XR can provide up to 440 lines of resolution, compared to 400 lines with other Hi8 Camcorders. Six Mode Program AE provides quick and easy setting for the proper exposure, shutter, and depth of field setting for a variety of environments. There are six modes: Portrait, Beach/Ski, Sports Lesson, Landscape, Spotlight, and Sunset/Moon. Stamina Power Management When you're out shooting the action, the last thing you want to see is the dreaded flashing battery indicator -the sign that you've got no power left. That's why Sony cut power consumption and extended battery life. The Sony CCD-TR87 offers image stabilization, a 2. 5-inch swivel LCD screen, and Laser Link output. It records in Hi8 video format and uses a 0. 25-inch CCD with 470,000 pixel pickup. This camera also provides a 20x optical/360x digital zoom to bring you closer to the action. The new NightShot with slow-shutter feature improves picture quality in the NightShot mode, allowing you to capture infrared images in total darkness (0 lux). Audio features include high-fidelity stereo recording and output as well as a built-in speaker for added convenience. The Sony CCD-TRV87 also offers six-mode program autoexposure and an array of fader and picture effects. Equipped with Sony's Laser Link feature, you can just aim the Sony CCD-TRV87 at the LaserLink receiver on select Sony TVs from up to 16 feet away, press "Play," and enjoy your videos directly on your TV-without wires or cassette adapters. Other convenient features of the Sony CCD-TRV87 include a built-in video light, Control-L (LANC) editing interface, 16:9 widescreen recording, edit search, and end search. With a rechargeable InfoLithium battery that features an AccuPower meter, this camcorder offers a long recording time. |

- Model: Canon ZR40 MiniDV Digital Camcorder with 2.5" LCD, & Digital Still Mode
Review Canon ZR40 MiniDV Digital Camcorder with 2.5" LCD, & Digital Still Mode / Canon:At just over a pound, the lightweight ZR40 from Canon makes an excellent camcorder for the beginning digital-video enthusiast. This compact and comfortable camcorder offers high-end features found on much more expensive cameras, yet is easy enough to use that a novice can begin filming right away. The camera is sleekly designed, and pieces pop out of the ZR40 from all sides. On top, the adjustable lens viewer also slides in and out so you don't have to hold the camera too close when filming. You can also use the 2. 5-inch LCD screen, which swings out of the left side of the ZR40. It also twists and can be flipped over, providing myriad filming angles. While we were suitably impressed with the image of our capture video, the sound of the camera's motor could be heard during some of the playback. It's a minor annoyance, which can be overcome with an optional external microphone. With an 18X optical zoom (as well as 360X digital) intuitively placed next to the right thumb, the ZR40 is able to get up close to the subjects you're filming. [+]Canon's image stabilizer worked well at correcting the "shake" common to handheld cameras. And the camera functions as a digital camera as well, taking snapshots in addition to video. The ZR40 offers a variety of connectivity options, including FireWire ports, composite AV, and S-video. You can input from an analog source such as a VCR, TV, or camcorder and convert the signal into digital video. It also ships with a handy remote control (with a range of 16 feet) that handles the record functions and can even zoom the lens in and out. Various special effects modes are incorporated into the camera as well, in addition to a new low-light mode that allowed us to shoot footage in the evening. There are DV cameras out there that do more than this one, but for most users, the ZR40 does plenty and does it well. -J. Curtis Pros: Compact and comfortable Easy to use Excellent zoom Cons: Some motor noise Improving on an original can be a daunting task. Canon has succeeded quite well, thank you. The ZR40 is the successor to the ZR20. Canon increased the optical zoom to 18x-the digital now sits at 360x-and added an analog pass-through port. Although the ZR line featured analog-in for dubbing your movies to MiniDV, the new pass-through port allows you to go straight to the computer, eliminating a possibly cumbersome step. The ZR40 also has a lot of the same features that made the original a lot of fun. A 2. 5-inch LCD is swivel-mounted, permitting the shooter to use the camera at odd angles. Various digital effects and autoexposure modes help ensure your footage turns out well. Finally, Canon threw in a low-light color-shooting mode that makes the ZR40 that much more attractive. |

Link and Fire Wire) for digital image transfer, allowing video editing on a properly equipped home computer. In addition, all analog ports on the DCR-PC9 have analog to digital converters built in. With this feature, anyone upgrading from older analog equipment can transfer their old memory to new digital tapes. If you own a TV equipped with Sony's Super LaserLink feature (or purchase an optional Super LaserLink attachment for your TV), playback is especially easy. You can just aim the DCR-PC9 at the TV from up to 26 feet away, press "play," and enjoy your videos without having to connect any wires.
