This affordable hard disk drive camcorder records in standard definition and features a 2.7" wide LCD display with Power LCD Plus for adjusting screen brightness.

A 1/6" CCD image sensor captures rich, natural-looking video and 640 x 480 stills to SD/SDHC memory cards. Other features include 42x optical zoom, Advanced Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), and the Easy Archive function for direct burning to DVD.
