VX2100

3CCD MiniDV Camcorder

MiniDV Recording

Offers up to 530 lines of horizontal resolution, 3X color bandwidth (vs. VHS) and significantly higher S/N ratio, to provide stunning video performance.

3 CCD Imaging System

Each 1/3" CCD has 380,000 pixels for brilliant digital picture-quality.

530 Lines of Horizontal Video Resolution

Advanced HAD™ Megapixel CCD technology, combined with highquality optics provide outstanding video performance with up to 530 horizontal lines of resolution.

Digital Still Memory Mode with Memory Stick® Media

Capture digital still images at 640x480 resolution, directly onto Memory Stick® media for easy transfer to PC’s for emailing, printing, or sharing with other compatible Memory Stick® devices.

Advanced HAD™ CCD Technology

Enhanced CCD design allows more light to reach the imager which reduces video noise to improve signal-to-noise ratio by up to 6db (2x better than a standard CCD). Particularly effective when shooting in dark situations.

12X Optical/48X Digital Zoom

The optical zoom helps to bring the action up close 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.

Aspherical Ground Glass 58mm Lens

Larger diameter allows more light to strike the Advanced HAD™ CCD imagers for greater detail and clarity, while the aspherical lens reduces optical distortion, and provide better corner

-to-

corner focus.

™ meter displays the battery time remaining in minutes, in the viewfinder or the LCD screen.

Super SteadyShot Optical Stabilization System

An advanced version of Sony’

s SteadyShot® System that minimizes even high frequency shake and vibration using motion sensors and an optical active prism stabilization system, for better performance even in difficult shooting situations.
