Sony DCR-HC52 Handycam® Mini DV camcorder

Sony's compact DCR-HC52 camcorder features a high-quality Carl Zeiss® lens for capturing crisp, clear videos with accurate color. Use the 40X optical zoom to get close to distant subjects — record candid footage of your kids without interrupting their play time, or catch the on-field action at a soccer game from the sideline. Image stabilization helps minimize the effects of a shaky hand for smoother video.

An Easy Handycam button gives you fully automatic, worry-free recording. Or you can access user-adjustable picture settings like focus and exposure with the 'HC52's simple touchpanel LCD interface. Use Sony's NightShot® to capture natural-looking video in low light. An i.LINK® digital audio/video jack lets you transfer video to a compatible computer using an optional cable for detailed editing.
