Sony Handycam DCR-DVD408 News Release Summary:
LAS VEGAS (CES Booth #14200), Jan. 7, 2007 – Sony has a
camcorder to match your personal video-making style with its new
line of DVD and Mini DV tape Handycam® camcorders.
“Our new models feature enhancements and sophisticated
technologies across the line to deliver benefits to satisfy the
varying recording, sharing and archiving needs of different
customers, depending on their preferences,” said Linda Vuolo,
director for camcorder products at Sony Electronics.
Double the Recording Time and Double the Fun with DVD
Sony is introducing four new DVD camcorders for busy people who
can appreciate the advantages of recording directly to disc,
easy playback on DVD players, effortless sharing of home movies
on a disc, and instant archiving of video footage.
In addition to –R/-RW/+RW disc compatibility, all models are
newly-compatible with three-inch, +R dual layer discs. A
standard, three-inch DVD with 2.66 GB dual layer capacity can
nearly double the camcorders’ recording times. Now users can
continuously record close to two hours of DVD footage, depending
on the recording mode.
Super SteadyShot® optical image stabilization further enhances
this model’s hybrid capabilities, producing clear, blur-free
photos and smooth, crisp video.
The CMOS technology also powers the DCR-DVD508 camcorder’s dual
record function so you can shoot video and, at the same time,
snap a smaller 4.6-megapixel digital still. With the smooth slow
record function, you can create slow motion video by playing
back short video clips at 240 frames per second. And this year’s
newly added voice memo feature lets you can playback those clips
with audio recordings.
More of What You’re Looking for in a Camcorder
With built-in Dolby® Digital 5.1 surround sound, all the new DVD
camcorders can provide an at-home cinematic experience. These
models are compatible with Sony’s ECM-HW1 Bluetooth® wireless
microphone, which amplifies the center channel sound in the
camcorders’ surround sound system and lets you wirelessly
capture audio up to 100 feet away.
A Memory Stick Duo™ flash memory card slot has been incorporated
into all three DVD models to facilitate easier management of
photo and video libraries. And they all feature a USB jack for
effortless connection and transfer of video footage to a PC for
editing and storing.
Sony's DCR-DVD508 and 408 models will be available in March for
about $900 and $700, respectively.
All of the new camcorders will be available online at
sonystyle.com, at Sony Style retail stores (www.sonystyle.com/retail)
around the country, and at authorized dealers nationwide.
Pre-orders will begin online on Jan. 8 at www.sonystyle.com/handycam.
Sony’s +R dual layer DVD discs are available now for about $12.
