Newbie Review by Frank Costanza Newbie Product Reviewer:
With the Sony Handycam DCR-VX2100 Mini DV Digital Camcorder clearer video with more lifelike color can be captured by increasing the CCD's sensitivity to light. It provides exceptional detail and clarity that reduces optical distortion, and provides better corner to corner focus with the Aspherical Ground Glass Lens. Includes features that reduces noise in the video signal to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. This features is great; it has a built-in Analog to Digital converter that will convert your analog video/audio to a digital signal that can either be recorded to tape or passed through the i.Link interface to a compatible computer. Some of the features that make this a great buy are: 3–CCD Imaging System offering 1 Lux Minimum Illumination: 530 Lines of Horizontal Video Resolution Digital Still Memory Mode with Memory Stick® Media Advanced HAD™ CCD Technology 12X Optical/48X Digital Zoom Aspherical Ground Glass 58mm Lens 2.5" Precision Hybrid SwivelScreen™ LCD Display (211K Pixels): Manual Zoom Ring , Manual Exposure Dial, Stamina Power Management System 9 Hours (Using Optional NP-F960), InfoLithium Battery with AccuPower™ Meter System, Super SteadyShot Optical Stabilization System, i.LINK®* DV Interface (IEEE1394), USB Streaming, Intelligent Accessory Shoe, Progressive Shutter System, 12-Bit/16-Bit PCM Digital Stereo Audio, Analog-to-Digital Conversion with Pass-Through, Digital Audio/Video Fader, Digital Program Editing and so much more.
