Product Information
The wait is over for camcorders that offer high-resolution video and the latest in digital imaging technology thanks to Sony's new line of MiniDV Handycam camcorders. The DCR-TRV27 aims to please cost-conscious video enthusiasts with one of the most attractively priced Sony MiniDV camcorder ever. While the MiniDV format delivers a powerful combination of precise image detail and vivid colors, the DCR-TRV27 takes video resolution even further with the incorporation of megapixel CCD imagers. The new camcorder incorporate USB Streaming, a feature that turns the camcorder into a webcam with a simple USB connection and video conferencing software like Microsoft Windows NetMeeting software. By connecting the camcorder to a PC, users can privately stream live video of their baby's first steps or play back a previously recorded little league game over the Internet. This Digital Handycam camcorder also sports a new feature that lets users take a still image of an important event while recording the motion in video, rather than interrupting the recording to switch between still and video modes.For improvement of video quality in dark and low-light settings, this solution includes two recording modes. Super NightShot mode enables monochrome video taping in total darkness. Color mode records full-color video in dimly lit places, providing the user with the ability to capture true-to-life video of sleeping babies, birthday candles, nocturnal animals and more. The DCR-TRV27 comes equipped with MPEG MovieEX, which captures MPEG1 video clips with audio onto Memory Stick media up to the length of the media capacity. MPEG1 video can be captured directly to Memory Stick media or shot to the tape and converted in camera to MPEG movie format later. MPEG MovieEX makes it easy to send video as an e-mail attachment or insert video clips into Web pages and presentation materials.Product Identifiers
