Versatility to Go
The SC-D6550 DuoCam is the world's best 5.25 megapixel MiniDV camcorder. There are some camcorders that do a pretty good job at capturing still images, but this camcorder excels at both still images and video. Two separate lenses ensure that you get the best of both worlds. On the video side, you get a powerful 10x optical/900x digital zoom with variable speed control. A 680K pixel CCD delivers high-resolution video images with superior color resolution and detail. It surpasses the conventional camcorder with digital quality and its high performance PC interface. As for still images, a 5.25 megapixel CCD creates razor sharp images suitable for large prints and is the highest still picture resolution available for a true camcorder. The zoom lens (3x optical, 12x digital) allows you to easily bring distant objects a little bit closer. So if you like the idea of carrying one compact DuoCam that can take care of all your imaging needs, order the SC-D6550 DuoCam today.
Freezing The Moment
A Photo Mode function allows easy picture taking and the ability to save still pictures onto Memory Stick. The multi-card slot supports Multimedia cards, Secure Digital (SD) cards, Memory Stick and Memory Stick PRO. The snap-shot feature can record still images for up to 6 seconds to videotape. It is then easy to transfer these still images to your PC. The built-in pop up flash makes it easier to shoot the correct exposure when you are taking a still image in limited light. You also have the ability to manually control still image exposure. An 8-step camera function key (shutter, iris, manual, auto, night scene, custom set, MPEG rec., play, etc.) gives you several options for adjusting the camera's abilities. And PictBridge compatibility enables you to connect the camera directly to any printer which supports the PictBridge standard via a USB cable.
Capture it All: It's Easy!
The SC-D6550 MPEG-4 video clip recording has high picture quality and takes up little memory space, so these files are great for emailing. MPEG-4 video can be stored directly to your Memory Stick, or you can transfer it to your PC via USB. The SC-D6550 DuoCam even offers USB streaming (v2.0 for DSC). The Easy-Q Button guarantees uniformly excellent shots for the user under any conditions. For Easy Mode, you press the Easy-Q button... it's that simple. From there, everything is set. The EZ Dial Navigator allows for quick navigation of the most commonly used functions by simply rotating the conveniently positioned thumbwheel.
Even More Convenience
You can see all that you're doing through the SCD6550's 2.5" 112K pixel LCD screen. This little screen serves up bright images of what your camera is seeing. It allows you to enjoy great picture quality even in limited sunlight. With these features, the most difficult thing about using the SCD6550 will be deciding if you want to shoot video or still pictures.
