Sony HDRXR500E

Equipped with an advanced ClearVid CMOS sensor with Exmor-R technology, the Sony HDR-XR500 Handycam can capture stunning 1920x1080 FULL HD video and 12.1 megapixels still images. Shoot like a pro and record your memories directly to a massive 120GB hard disk drive. The “HDD Smart Protection” gives you peace of mind by helping to prevent any recorded video and images from being lost if the XR500 is accidentally dropped. Made possible by the BIONZ image processing engine, the XR500’s Face Detection technology recognizes up to 8 faces anywhere in the frame and by selecting the most prominent, automatically controls focus, exposure, and colour to help capture smiling faces brightly and clearly. With 12x optical zoom and Optical SteadyShot image stabilisation with Active Mode, you can bring the action up close with the XR500 and also view it clearly via the 3.2-inch wide (16:9) touch panel Xtra Fine LCD display which boasts a resolution of 921K pixels. A built-in GPS receiver makes the HDR-XR500V an ideal choice for travellers. In addition to automatically adjusting your camcorder's clock to the proper time zone, the GPS receiver also gives you the ability to view your current location on the LCD map display, as well as "tag" your shooting locations. -Optical / Digital Zoom: 12x / 150x - Dolby Digital 5.1 Creator (5.1ch.) - Face Detection (Video & Photo): Yes - Smile Shutter: Yes - Image Stabiliser: Optical SteadyShot with Active Mode - LCD Screen Size & Type: 3.2" (Wide 16:9) Xtra - Fine LCD (921K Dots) with Touch Panel - Face Index: Yes - Intelligent Flash: Yes - NightShot Mode: Yes - Memory Stick Duo Slot: Yes - HDMI Terminal: Yes (Mini) - USB Terminal: Yes (USB 2.0 High Speed) - Dimensions: (W x H x D): 71 x 75 x 134mm
