Sony Handycam Roundup
This video introduces the Sony HDR-PJ710V, HDR-PJ760V, HDR-CX760V and HDR-TD20V Full HD Camcorders. With features that include a projector, tons of solid-state storage and/or dual lenses for 3D HD video capture, one of these models is sure to have the extras you’ve been looking for in a consumer HD camcorder.
The HDR-PJ710V and HDR-PJ760 are nearly identical Full HD Memory Camcorders. And they both feature an integrated projector that can display a brilliant 100-inch diagonal image on the wall from about 16 feet away. They both shoot Full HD 1920 x 1080p video at up to 60 frames per second. The only main difference between the two models is the built-in flash storage. The HDR-PJ710V is equipped with 32GB of flash storage, which means you can capture about 2 hours and 20 minutes of Full HD video. The HDR-PJ760V is equipped with 96GB of flash storage and can facilitate about 7 hours and 40 minutes of Full HD video capture using only its internal memory.
The HDR-CX760V is also nearly identical to the HDR-PJ760V. It features 96GB of flash storage and can capture Full HD 1920 x 1080p video at up to 60 frames per second. The one major difference is the lack of a projector. All three models are equipped with a Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T Lens that supports 10x optical zoom and 17x extended zoom.
The last camera in this roundup is the HDR-TD20V. This Handycam can shoot Full HD 1920 x 1080/60p video in 3D. It’s equipped with 64GB of internal memory and can take up to 20.4 megapixel still images. All four models have many of the same features including Optical SteadyShot with Active Mode, auto white balance, selective Scene Modes and more. If you’re looking for more than just your average HD consumer camcorder, all of these Sony models have their own appeal.
