DCR-DVD108
DVD Handycam® Camcorder
NEW

2.0 connection, you can show off your video almost as fast as you captured it.
Step-up
1/6" Advanced HAD™ CCD Imager, 680K Pixels Gross
1/6" Advanced HAD™ (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCD with 340K (effective) pixels provides stunning detail and clarity with exceptional video (up to 500 lines of horizontal resolution) and still image performance.
40X Optical/2000X Digital Zoom
The optical zoom helps to bring the action close up from far away. In addition the Digital Zoom Interpolation means that extreme digital zooming is clearer, with less distortion than previous types of digital zooms.
Professional Quality Carl Zeiss® Vario­Tessar® Lens
Carl Zeiss lenses have an advanced optical multi-layer coating that offers less glare and flare with increased contrast. This results in vivid image brilliance, true-to-life color saturation and perfect renditions of subtle tones.
DVD Format Video Recording
The DVD recording format delivers digital picture and sound quality comparable to that of MiniDV, but on DVD. Playback of the DVDs couldn't be simpler. After finalizing the disc in the camcorder, the disc can play back in most DVD Players, computers and even PlayStation® 2 and PlayStation 3 video game consoles .

DVD-R/-RW/+RW and +R DL (Dual Layer) Compatible

™ LCD
Display

Memory Stick Duo™ Media Slot
Capture still images up to 640 x 480 resolution, directly onto Memory Stick Duo media for easy transfer to PCs for emailing, printing or sharing with other compatible Memory Stick® devices.
7
Visual Index Screen
Shows thumbnail images of video clips and still images when playing back on your camcorder or DVD player, making your selection easier.
Super SteadyShot® Image Stabilization System
An advanced version of Sony's SteadyShot® Image Stabilization system that controls an even higher range of shake and vibration frequencies, to achieve an even higher level of smoothness without degradation of video like some other image stabilization systems.
InfoLITHIUM®
Battery with AccuPower
Meter System
Charge the battery at anytime because unlike NiCad (Nickel Cadmium) batteries, Sony's rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries are not subject to a life shortening "memory effect". Sony's exclusive AccuPower
™ meter displays the battery time remaining in minutes, in either the viewfinder or on the LCD screen.
Manual Focus
Allows the user to manually adjust the focus of the camcorder using the touch panel. Manual focusing also allows the user to control the focus in difficult situations where either the environment or the subject does not allow the camcorder's auto focus to perform optimally, such as when shooting through a window or in a crowded environment.
Super NightShot® Plus Infrared System
With Sony's Super NightShot Infrared System you can capture natural looking video, even when shooting in low light. Record subjects up to 20 feet away using the built-in infrared system, but without the overall monochrome color common with earlier low-light recording systems.
Stamina®
Battery Power Management
System
Using the optional NP-FH1000 InfoLITHIUM®
Battery, the DCR
-DVD108 can continuously record for up to 9 hours (LCD or viewfinder) on a single full charge, providing extra long battery life.
