Easy on the wallet while going beyond the feature set of comparable models, the Sony DCR-SX65E SD Flash Memory PAL Camcorder is a standard-definition camera that lets you take control or will do the heavy-lifting for you. Record to the 4GB of internal memory or simply pop in a compatible memory card, and the SX65E's 1/8" CCD image sensor works together with the processor, Carl Zeiss zoom, Active SteadyShot, and the 3.0" touch screen LCD to help you capture the best video possible.
Other shooting controls include Active SteadyShot for a more stable image, Intelligent Auto for automatic scene selection, and Face Detection to ensure everyone in the shot looks their best. Of course, the SX65E offers numerous other features to make recording your memories as smooth as possible, including Film Roll Index, Direct Copy, and a built-in video light for overly dark scenes. And when you're done shooting, the included editing software--Sony's Picture Motion Browser--will help you finalize, share, and archive all of your most valued moments.
- 4GB Embedded Flash Memory
- The built-in 4GB embedded flash memory can record up to 2.5 hours of footage (LP mode).
- 70x Extended Zoom
- Extended zoom works in conjunction with 60x optical zoom to get even closer to the action while maintaining image quality.
- Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar Lens
- The professional-quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens is designed specifically for compact camcorders. Precision ground optics help maintain the sharpness and contrast of larger lenses, and SteadyShot image stabilization helps reduce blur caused by camera shake.
- 3.0" Touch Screen Clear Photo LCD Plus Display (230K)
- The 3.0" touch-screen Clear Photo LCD Plus display provides exceptional viewing clarity with 230K pixels resolution. The display rotates up to 270° for multiple viewing angles, and provides sharp, detailed images for monitoring or playback. The convenient touch panel allows easy access to menus and additional functionality such as spot focus and spot metering.
- SteadyShot Image Stabilization with Active Mode
- SteadyShot image stabilization with Active Mode allows for a greater degree of image stabilization over the well known, Sony developed, SteadyShot stabilization that has been used for years, giving you more stable video even when on the move or in low light circumstances.
- Intelligent Auto - 36 Different Scene Combinations Possible
- Intelligent Auto mode goes a step beyond traditional auto modes by analyzing your shot and then automatically selecting the appropriate settings from seven distinct scene modes (36 different combinations possible): Landscape, Backlight, Twilight, Spotlight, Macro, Portrait, Tripod.
- Dolby Digital Stereo Recording with Built-In Zoom Mic
- The built-in zoom microphone focuses audio recording on your subjects with the camera's zoom lens, helping memories ring true with clear dialogue and crisp, discrete sounds.
- Face Detection
- Face Detection technology recognizes faces and optimizes camera settings for both video and still images, so faces are captured more clearly and skin tones look more natural.
- Built-In LED Video Light
- The DCR-SX65 features an LED light that can assist in low-light situations, giving you more flexibility when capturing your video.
- Built-In USB Cable for Easy File Transfer/Charge
- The high-speed, built-in USB 2.0 cable allows for easy connection to your computer without your having to remember separate cables. It also fits conveniently into the hand strap so it's out of the way until you need it.
- Direct Copy to External HDD without PC
- Store your memories in a whole new way with the ability to copy videos from your camcorder directly to an external hard disk drive (sold separately), all without a computer. Your camcorder can also access videos stored on the external hard drive for playback on your TV, allowing you to utilize the camcorder's handy playback features.
- Includes Sony Picture Motion Browser Software
- Sony Picture Motion Browser software offers a simple, intuitive way to transfer, sort, and view your video and still images on your compatible PC. In addition, multiple output options let you burn your memories to DVD, as well as take advantage of one click upload to a number of popular video and photo sharing sites.
- Auto Lens Cover
- The automatic lens cover protects the Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens from scratches during transport or while not in use by closing the lens cover automatically when the camera is shut off.
- Film Roll / Face Index
- With Film Roll Index, the camcorder previews the beginning of scenes and creates scene indexes set at specified display intervals (3, 6, or 12 seconds and 1 or 5 minutes). Face Index indexes your video footage according to the faces detected in each scene. When it's time to play back video, simply search for what you want by selecting from among the detected faces displayed in the index.
- Dual Media Card Slot
- For convenient storage and sharing of your images and videos, the DCR-SX65 accepts Memory Stick Duo / Memory Stick PRO Duo / Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo media and SD/SDHC media (sold separately).
