Sony DVD Handycam Camcorder

DCR-DVD101

The stylish yet easy-to-use DCR-DVD101 is full of features like a Hybrid LCD screen, Carl Zeiss optics, and an easy-to-use Visual Index Screen which allows you to shoot and share great video and still images with family and friends.

The DVD Advantage

Say goodbye to fast forwarding and rewinding. DVD offers many advantages over videocassette tape systems, including fast search and access to scenes by selecting thumbnail images. The DCRDVD101 records on itsy-bitsy 3 1/2" DVD media. After finalizing your DVD-R or DVD-RW disc in the camcorder, it will play back in compatible DVD players, computers and even PlayStation 2 video game consoles. In addition, you don't have to invest in additional media for your still images. Sony's DVD Handycam camcorders let you record video and still images all on DVD. What's even more amazing than the performance of the DCRDVD101 is the fact that this performance is packed into a camcorder that's 29-percent smaller and 23-percent lighter than last year's model. So now big things come in even smaller packages.

The Shakedown

You may remember viewing old home movies where the picture shook so much you could hardy tell if you were filming Aunt Edna or Uncle Buck. Maybe they were difficult to distinguish anyway, but the point is, vibrations that cause the camera to shake can make your videos unpleasant to watch. With Sony's Super Steadyshot picture stabilization system, this is no longer a concern. This advanced stabilization system uses motion sensors capable of controlling a higher range of shake and vibration frequencies, to keep your videos as steady as possible, without sacrificing quality like lesser stabilization systems do. In addition, Sony chose high quality Carl Zeiss optics for the DCRDVD101. This world renowned Zeiss lens uses advanced optical multi-layer coatings to provide increased contrast with less glare and flare. This results in vivid image brilliance, true-to-life color saturation and perfect renditions of subtle tones. With a legendary lens and rock solid Super Steadyshot stabilization, you're practically guaranteed stunning video and beautiful pictures every time you pick up your DVD Handycam.

Don't Let Darkness Stop You

With Sony's Super NightShot you can capture video in total darkness. The Super NightShot 0 Lux Recording mode automatically adjusts the shutter speed to increase picture brightness and clarity. The Color Slow Shutter mode allows you to record in low light situations with full color detail by slowing down the shutter speed to give you the best color and detail possible. If lighting up the scene won't spoil the mood of the moment, you might consider picking up an optional video light (sold separately). The Intelligent Accessory Shoe enables you to add video lights and other intelligent accessories (like external microphones) to add even more performance to your Digital Handycam system.

Be a Part of It All

The 2.5" SwivelScreen LCD display on the DCRDVD101 provides excellent viewing clarity and improved resolution, giving you an even better grasp on the action. To give you a great view from almost any angle, this 123K pixel LCD screen also rotates up to 270 degrees. The images are so sharp and detailed that you can get a good look even from several feet away. You can actually step away from the camcorder and still monitor the recording; even get in on the action yourself. If you want to really keep a close eye on the scene, you may want to take advantage of the 113K pixel color viewfinder, which provides a sharp, color view of your video subjects.
