1080P HD Camcorder (Touchscreen, 12 x Optical Zoom)

Meet our latest top of the line full HD 1080P Camcorder, with amazing 12 x optical zoom, HDMI out, dual-video, and so much more!

Unprecedented 12X Optical Zoom

The DV55 comes with 12x optical zoom so you can capture subjects in perfect clarity from far away-- such as small birds in a tree or people hiking to the top of a mountain. The optical zoom does NOT degrade the image quality like a digital zoom will do, so don’t be fooled by large digital zoom numbers, in the real world, optical zoom is what really matters!

Incredible Image Quality

At a 1080p resolution (the same video resolution used to create documentaries such as Discovery Channel’s Planet Earth), the image quality from the DV55 is simply breathtaking! The HD videos are so crisp, colorful, and vivid, that you will sometimes feel as if you are actually there!

Additional features include: HDMI Out to easily and quickly share high quality HD videos on your HDTV with your friends and family, image stabilization for people with shaky hands, smooth slow motion recording to capture details such as individual rain drops or subtle facial expressions.

These are the features you might expect in the latest Sony and Canon cameras, and now you can finally get them in a factory direct OEM camcorder. If you are in the market for a new video camera or are looking to buy a gift for your girlfriend/husband/favorite uncle, this one is the top choice.
