Sharp Viewcam VL-Z500S

Sharp Viewcam VL-Z500S ... features for crisp, high quality images with colors that are true to life.

All of Sharp's new compact and lightweight Viewcam Z series camcorders have an improved swivel grip, one of the key features that made last year's models so popular. Now with a range of 240 degrees, consumers can easily record scenes that are high above or well below their scope of vision while comfortably taping with one hand.

The VL-Z500 also lets consumers record high-quality full-motion video in total darkness. The built-in LED lights are great for capturing such poignant moments as a child blowing out birthday candles or a sleeping baby. The results are bright, full-color video. The new Viewcam camcorders also have improved battery life so consumers won't have to worry about recordings getting cut short due to lack of power.

Another key feature is the superior 2.5-inch CG Silicon swing-out LCD monitor and smaller color viewfinders. Continuous Grain Silicon, invented by Sharp, delivers ultra-high performance while consuming less power. Images on the monitor are no longer wiped out, even in bright sunshine, so the camcorders can be used in almost all conditions.
