Sony's DCR-DVD850 camcorder gives you flexible options for capturing and sharing your home videos. Record straight to mini DVDs for instant playback on most DVD players and computers. Or if you don't have a blank disc handy, the built-in 16-gigabyte flash memory will let you store up to 11 hours of footage. In-camera dubbing lets you copy footage from the internal memory or optional Memory Stick® Pro Duo™ cards to DVD disc — without a PC or separate disc burner.

Sharp footage and wraparound sound
This cam's Carl-Zeiss® lens delivers accurate colors and boasts an impressive 60X optical zoom for detailed close-ups. Built-in image stabilization keeps your footage steady. Use the color viewfinder to frame your shots, or switch to the widescreen touchpanel LCD to see your movies as they'll appear on the disc. The zoom mic records Dolby® Digital 5.1-channel audio — play back your home movie discs on your home theater system and experience them in lifelike surround sound.

Easy features for your convenience
Sony's Easy Handycam® button gives you fully automatic, worry-free recording. When you're ready to review your footage, use the "film roll" button to preview thumbnails of multiple scenes on the LCD screen for an easy-to-search index. Or use Sony's "face index" to locate scenes that have a certain subject in them, like your child or spouse. This cool feature sorts your videos by which face appears in them — a truly easy way to find the footage of your loved ones.
