Sony DCR-HC96

“Nothing preserves memories better than moving images with sound,” said Linda Vuolo, director for camcorder products at Sony Electronics. “We are offering new enhancements to both audio and video performance in our 2006 product line.”

High Quality Video On Any Budget

On the digital tape front, four new MiniDV models aim to please cost-conscious video enthusiasts with prices beginning at about $350.

All the MiniDV models deliver a powerful combination of precise image detail and vivid color reproduction thanks to Carl Zeiss optics and Sony’s high-resolution CCD imaging technology. They feature top-side tape loading so it’s effortless to replace tapes while shooting from a tripod, and wide LCD screens on select models to address the growing demand for 16:9 video. The high-end MiniDV models, the DCR-HC96 and DCR-HC46, are supplied with Handycam Station ™ cradle, a tabletop cradle that charges the camcorders and connects them conveniently to a PC or television.

The top-of-the-line DCR-HC96 model offers advanced performance with its three-megapixel Advanced HAD CCD imager and Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens to capture vivid video and three-megapixel still images in both 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios. The camcorder is equipped with a wide 2.7-inch Hybrid SwivelScreen Touch Panel LCD screen, built-in flash, an intelligent accessory shoe, and Memory Stick Duo media slot.

All models will be available online at Sonystyle.com/newcamcorders, at Sony Style retail stores (www.sonystyle.com/retail), and at authorized dealers nationwide.
