Give It Your Best Shot

With the GRD33 digital camcorder, you can get the shots you want, even if the light isn't cooperating. The Night Alive feature allows full-spectrum shooting in extremely low light. The high resolution 2.5" active matrix system TFT color LCD monitor will help you size up your subject, and the swiveling action lets you view the picture even while you move the camera around. Great for overhead shooting in a crowd, or monitoring the action when you're in the scene, you'll love the way this screen moves! The digital image stabilizer helps keep your image stable even when your hands aren't; so you can record smooth, fun to view video even when you're scrambling to follow the action or just so excited you can't keep still.

Editing & Effects

The IEEE 1394 PC Interface (i.LINK) provides a high-speed link for you to easily transfer video and audio to a computer or some other compatible component like a Mini DV VCR. Besides the convenience, this allows you to transfer back and forth as much as you like without any deterioration in audio or video quality. Some exciting things can also be done right there in the camcorder, like the various digital effects you can use to create professional looking scene transitions and other artistic effects. With or without a computer, this Cybercam makes it easy to make every video an entertaining experience.

Closing In

Most digital camcorders offer a combination zoom, with one number representing the optical power of the lens and a second number indicating how far the image can be digitally enlarged. Of the two, the optical range usually has the most impact on lens performance. This GRD33's lens has an optical zoom of 16x, providing a substantial level of magnification. If you want the picture to be even larger, the 700x digital zoom really brings you in on the details. Even better, this Hyper Zoom uses sophisticated processing known as Spline Interpolation to eliminate jagged edges and other forms of visual degradation that often plague lesser lenses. The flaws of inferior lenses are most noticeable at full magnification. With Spline Interpolation working for you, your shots are noticeably superior even when digitally enlarged hundreds of times.
