The DCR-HC20 provides a good combination of ease of use and high picture quality in a lightweight DV Handycam. Enhancements include a new compact horizontal body design, enhanced touch sensitive LCD technology, improved menu systems and higher quality CCDs and lenses.

The DCR-HC20 features a larger and more versatile ‘Hybrid’ LCD screen. This 2.5-inch display provides a very bright picture for use in high contrast situations, such as beach or ski scenes. The high-class image processing of the DCR-HC20 is complemented by its top quality Carl Zeiss Lens. This offers a 10x Variable Optical Zoom and 120x Digital Zoom. It offers Super NightShot Plus, an enhanced version of the technology that can produce colour pictures even when recording in the dark.

An Easy Handycam button on the camcorder now provides a one-step solution for ease of use for beginners. The DCR-HC20 includes a DV-in function that allows video edited on a PC to be recorded back to tape.
