The 60GB Sony DCR-SR75E HDD Handycam

Now you can record up to 41 hours of high quality video and still images directly onto the 60GB high capacity hard disk drive, without having to use additional tapes or discs.

Fantastic Image Resolution

The SR75E features a 1 Megapixel CCD sensor which produces high resolution images in superb detail and with accurate colour reproduction. Up to 1 Megapixel still images can also be shot using the SR75E and stored on a removable Memory Stick, allowing you to capture your special memories in both videos and photographs without the hassle of carrying two cameras.

Super SteadyShot Technology

To reduce the effects of camera shake, Sony has developed their Super SteadyShot picture stabilisation technology which enhances the picture quality and reduces the chance of blurred shots. As a result, your images will be beautifully crisp and well-defined, even when shot in low light without a tripod. The SR75E camcorder will automatically switch to Auto Slow Shutter mode which boosts the minimum illumination to up to 5 lux, allowing you to continue shooting in fading light or indoors.

25x Optical Zoom

The powerful Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens captures images with exact contrast and clarity to ensure that both your videos and still images are of the highest quality. Shooting distant subjects is no problem for the 25x Optical Zoom, whilst the additional 2000x Digital Zoom gives you even greater freedom and flexibility to create you perfect picture.

Easy-to-Use Functionality

The SR75E’s 2.7-inch Wide Hybrid LCD touchscreen, makes it easy to set-up, view, and review your shots. A Quick ON button quickly starts-up the camcorder from sleep mode so you can capture footage before it’s too late! When reviewing your material, the Face Index and Film Roll Index make it is easy to find specific scenes. The Face Index works with Sony’s Face Detection Technology to produce thumbnail images of faces, simply tap the LCD screen to play your chosen scene. Alternatively, the Film Roll Index lets you search scenes within each recorded chapter at your own defined intervals, from 3 seconds to 5 minutes.

Handycam Station

Included with the SR75E is Sony’s Handycam Station, which connects to your TV or PC via the analogue and Hi-Speed USB connectors, so you can quickly and easily watch and share your movies. The station also charges the camcorder whilst you are playing back or transferring your footage. The One-Touch Disc Burn function records an hour’s worth of video onto DVD via a connected PC in around 20 minutes, so you can quickly share and save your videos.
