Sony Handycam DCR-DVD403E Camcorder

Record directly to DVD with the Sony Handycam DCR-DVD403. Capture razor sharp images with a professional quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T Lens and record Dolby Digital 5.1 audio for an audio visual experience that will put your home theater system through its paces. USB 2.0 interface gives you the option of using the DCR-DVD403 as an external DVD burner when connected to your PC! While all of these features might seem intimidating for newbie filmmakers, an Easy Handycam button locks out the advanced features of the camera leaving only the essential functions operational for beginners.
