Fun, easy shooting with high-power zoom
Light and so easy to use, this compact camcorder features a high-quality lens with powerful zoom range to bring distant objects closer. Record crisp video and stereo sound on the internal hard disk drve. Enjoy easy web uploads with built-in PMB Portable software.

Get closer than ever before
It's like packing a telescope with your camcorder. Ultra-powerful Extended Zoom boosts magnification to a huge 67x range. It's more than enough to pull distant subjects close with superb detail and clarity.

Small and light enough to keep with you
With less size and weight to carry, it’s easy to slip your camcorder into a pocket or bag: you can be sure it’s always with you, wherever you go.

Brighten up your subject
Don’t get left in the dark. A video light illuminates your subject for great results when you’re shooting in low light at parties, indoors or with night-time scenes.

Sharing made simple
Don't keep all those great memories stuck inside your camcorder. PMB Portable software inside Handycam lets you upload videos to popular web sharing sites like YouTube from almost any connected PC.

Preserve your memories
Why not save those memories onto DVD for safekeeping or sharing with friends? It's easy with the super-speed DVDirect Express disc burner Alternatively, Handycam lets you transfer footage straight to an external hard disk drive... with no PC needed.
