Sony HDR-XR100

The Sony HDR-XR100 is an outstanding digital camcorder that makes it virtually impossible to take bad videos.

This 80GB high definition hard drive camcorder records in 1920×1080 video resolution, 5.1 channel audio and you also have the option of snapping 4MP still photos. With its 10x optical zoom, you’ll be sure to get up close and personal.

The HDR-XR100 uses its Face Detection and Smile Shutter features to automatically focus, set exposure and color to bring you breathtakingly crisp and clear video.

You’re able to capture hours of footage with the Sony HDR-XR100, thanks to the internal 80GB hard drive and you can store up to 32 hours of footage.

Say you’re out fishing and your friend catches a big fish on the hook. You can shoot video of him hauling it in, but would also like a still shot of him holding his prized catch. You can snap a 4 megapixel still image with the XR100 or use the Dual Record option to record a still image while shooting video so you can capture that movement without switching recording modes.

With the 10x optical and 20x digital zoom, you’re never too far away to capture clear and distortion-free video. The SteadyShot image stabilization makes double sure that your shots will be clear and crisp.

The Sony HDR-XR100 is equipped with Dolby Digital 5.1 channel recording and a built-in zoom microphone. Sound is recorded that comes from all directions, so the audio is true and clear.

Once you have recorded your video, you’re able to simply transfer and view your video and still images on your PC. Or why not burn the memories to DVD, AVCHD and Blu-ray disc.

So whether you’re an up and coming filmmaker or just someone who loves capturing high quality home movies, the Sony HDR-XR100 gets the job done and with excellence.
