Sony Handycam DCR-PC6 ... increased zoom (120x digital / 10x optical) and boosted STAMINA time on top of Sony Mini DV standards like Carl Zeiss lens, Touch Panel and HAD technology, PC6 also comes in a new, metallic purple body that will be as impressive in your hand as it will be inconspicuous to transport. The stylish choice for go-anywhere digital imaging.

Very high-quality imagery is assured with the 800,000-pixel CCD imaging system. It provides highly detailed, crisp video footage and brilliant still images suitable for print or Internet applications. Professional-grade precision glass optics delivers exceptional detail and clarity while also reducing non-desirable effects such as flaring and ghosting. Carl Zeiss lenses are synonymous with top performance and smooth operation. High quality Advanced HAD design CCD imager reduces noise in the video signal to improve signal-to-noise ratio by up to 6db (2x better than a standard CCD). It is particularly effective when shooting in dark situations. A built-in infrared system lets you capture video from up to 10 feet (3 m) away, even in total darkness (0 lux). Super Night Shot also allows you to employ one of two Slow Shutter speeds to increase picture brightness, contrast and quality. Control your camcorder on the Touch Panel LCD where you watch the action. Only a "feather touch" needed on the super sensitive, reactive screen.
