Ten out of Ten for the Sony PJ10 Handycam®

2011-09-02T12:00:00.000-07:00

The SONY PJ10E Full HD Camcorder is receiving rave reviews and here are ten reasons why you should consider buying one.
1. Best Full HD pictures. Most detailed video images you've ever seen from a camcorder. New 1920x1080/50p mode records at a very high frame rate in progressive mode, capturing 50 Full HD frames every second for extra-clear results.
2. Project your image anywhere. Sometimes you want everyone to see your video memories, but there's no TV in the room to hook up with. Now Handycam® built-in high-contrast projector lets you project crisp, detailed video clips directly onto any nearby flat surface - from walls and ceilings to a friend's t-shirt.
3. Easy Reference. Event Browse groups photos/videos for easy reference
4. Superior in low-light. Many camcorders struggle in low light, producing grainy, fuzzy images. A back-illuminated "Exmor R" CMOS sensor delivers superior low-light video while the wide angle Sony G Lens lets you capture more of the action with sharp images and brilliant, accurate colors.
5. Sounds amazing A good soundtrack really does enhance a video. The precision microphone array captures 5.1-ch surround sound with greater sensitivity and reduced wind noise. Stereo speakers and S-Master technology assure clear sound during playback on your camcorder.
6. 16GB Memory. Record and store up to six hours of high definition video footage (HD LP mode) directly to the 16GB embedded Flash memory.
7. Enhanced Wide Angle You can pack more into every scene and make sure nobody’s left out of the picture at parties, birthdays and other special occasions. The high quality G Lens by Sony features enhanced wide angle performance, capturing a bigger image area without you having to stand back.
8. Image Stabilisation Optical SteadyShot™ with Active mode
9. Focus Options Auto Focus/Manual, Optical Zoom 30x - Digital Zoom 350x
10. Intelligent Auto (90 different scene combinations possible)
