1080p24 HDV MiniDV Camcorder

This camcorder provides affordable HD acquisition by offering true 1080p image capture in a small camcorder form factor, a truly practical solution for independent cinematographers, corporate producers, educational users, small-market broadcasters, and wedding videographers, to name just  a few.

Three ClearVid® CMOS Sensors, combined with Sony's 14-bit Enhanced Image Processor, create a camcorder capable of capturing images at 1080p24, 1080p30, and 1080 60i. All video is processed at 1920x1080 at 60p in full 4:2:2 for optimum picture quality. In the 1080 24p mode, the images are scanned at the full 1080 lines, and 2:3 pull down is added and recorded to the 60i HDV tape.
