Shoot beautiful Full HD for longer
Enjoy up to 65hours Full HD recording on the huge 160GB hard disk drive. Light and easy to carry, it's packed with smart, easy to use features for shooting, sharing and enjoying crisp HD video and still photos.

Best Full HD pictures
Move up to the smoothest, most detailed video images you've ever seen from a camcorder. 1920x1080/50p mode records at a very high frame rate in progressive mode, capturing 50 Full HD frames every second for extra-clear results.

Walk. Zoom. Steady: Even more stable pictures
Wobbly pictures are a common problem when you’re shooting without a tripod. Optical SteadyShot Active Mode delivers ‘3-way’ camera shake correction at all zoom settings, even when you’re walking along.

Low light, no problem
Many camcorders struggle in low light, producing grainy, fuzzy images. Super sensitive Exmor R CMOS Sensor reduces image noise for clearer images. In conjunction with the powerful BIONZ processor you’ll get great results in dim interiors or at dusk.

Pack more into every scene
Make sure nobody’s left out of the picture at parties, birthdays and other special occasions. The high quality G Lens by Sony features enhanced wide angle performance, capturing a bigger image area without you having to stand back.

Sharing made simple
Don't keep all those great memories stuck inside your camcorder. A built-in USB arm simplifies PC hook-ups without hunting for cables. PMB Portable software inside Handycam launches automatically for quick, fuss-free web uploads.
