Sony has introduced a cam corder that is supposed to be the smallest and lightest of all the camcorders

known as HDR-HC3 HDV 1080i Handycam. it has many mini and cool features in it .

Features +quality:

The new high-def camcorder is 26 percent more compact than the Sony HDR-HC1 Handycam for high definition video, that was named “Best Camcorder of 2005” recently.

The Sony HDR-HC3 model features a professional-quality Carl Zeiss Vario- Sonnar T lens and Sony’s new ClearVid CMOS Sensor technology. This imager is engineered to boost picture resolution and clarity to

deliver vivid colors and precise image detail. Combined with Sony’s Enhanced Imaging Processor, it provides new and fun-to-use functions. Also new is an HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) output, for watching high-definition content on an HDTV set.

The camcorder shoots four-megapixel still images, stored on an optional Memory Stick PRO Duo media card, for easy transfer between compatible devices. It has a dual record function that allows you to shoot video and simultaneously capture 2.3 megapixel stills (16:9) in high definition mode and 1.7-megapixel stills (4:3) in standard definition mode. You can also record slow motion video using the model’s smooth

slow record function, which plays back three seconds of video in 12 seconds — ideal for analyzing your golf swing or tennis back-hand.

The HDR-HC3 has a 2.7-inch touch panel SwivelScreen LCD featuring Sony’s new Clear Photo LCD plus

technology. The LCD produces bright images with high-contrast that are easy to view in virtually any environment and at any angle. Other features include Super SteadyShot® image stabilization, a built-in microphone for excellent audio quality, an intelligent built-in flash for well-exposed still images, and a supplied InfoLithium® P battery for up to 90 minutes of continuous recording.
