Sony Handycam DCR-DVD505

Intro of Sony Handycam DCR-DVD505

Thanks to a large LCD screen and responsive performance, shooting with the Sony Handycam DCR-DVD505 is a pleasure; throw in its superior video quality, and the camcorder makes an excellent alternative to MiniDV models if you're looking for straight-to-player convenience. And paired with the optional Bluetooth center-channel microphone, its 5.1-channel sound capture is bound to impress. At the top of Sony's DVD camcorder line, the DCR-DVD505 shares much with its next sibling down, the DCR-DVD405--everything, in fact, except for the 3.5-inch LCD and the new 2-megapixel ClearVid CMOS imager; the DCR-DVD405 uses the same 2.7-inch LCD and 3.3-megapixel CCD as last year's DCR-DVD403.
