Sony Handycam DCR-TRV900 Mini DV Camcorder

The Sony DCR-TRV900 can handle up to eight hours recording. The 12X Optical Zoom lets you move in or pull back for wide shots, while the Precision 48X Digital Zoom uses a Hyper-Precision CCD to maintain superior image detail. There's an Optical Super SteadyShot Image Stabilization System, a Memory Mode for Still Image Capture and even picture effects to help you get the look you want. You'll never run out of ways to use this Sony.
