The Sony DCR-HC30 is the MiniDV Handycam® Camcorder that doubles as a digital camera. It features a compact Memory Stick DUO™ slot which allows 640 x 480 resolution digital still image capture, which is perfect for e-mail or printing. It also includes a big 2.5" hybrid SwivelScreen™ touch panel LCD display, Super NightShot® Plus infrared recording, USB streaming, and a professional Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® lens. It even includes a 3D menu system that makes adjusting the camcorder settings easier than even. Best of all, these big features come in a package that’s 25% smaller than the previous year’s camcorders.
