For striking, detailed high definition recording, the Sony Handycam HDR-FX1 camcorder is built for demanding consumers and discerning professionals. The HDR-FX1 features a real-time HD codec engine, which offers professional-level MPEG2 video compression, and a 14bit HD DXP (Digital Extended Processor) for increased processing speed.

Step into Sony's world of A/V excellence and bring the convenience of your own screen with you. Sony's Handycam VISION series, beginning with the CCD-TRV37, includes a multi-positional LCD screen and a built-in speaker. You'll never have to contort yourself to view that difficult shot through the viewfinder again. Just open the LCD screen and rotate it to whichever angle you require. High and low angles, and the mirror function, allow over the crowd and close to the ground shots as well as letting your stars see exactly what's being filmed. And, once you've finished, you can enjoy playback in full sound and color quality, right there and then, on the camcorder's speaker and 2.5" color LCD screen. Besides it features LCD window on the side of the camcorder to inform the user about key data such as remaining battery life and recording time. Less
