Easy to use and enjoy, the DCR-HC28 MiniDV Handycam camcorder comes equipped with everything you need to capture exceptional video. Zoom in on the action with the 20x optical and 800x digital zoom while remaining in the director's chair with its easy-to-use controls and 2.5" touch panel LCD monitor. A Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar Lens makes sure that everything stays in focus. The DCR-HC28 gives you everything you need to capture vivid video every time.
Its 1/6" Advanced HAD (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCD with 340K (effective) pixels provides stunning detail and clarity with exceptional video (up to 500 lines of horizontal resolution) and still image performance. The DCR-HC28 offers up to 500 lines of horizontal resolution, three times higher color bandwidth, and a significantly higher signal/noise ratio, to provide spectacular video performance.
The 20x optical zoom helps to bring the action close up from far away. In addition the digital zoom interpolation helps to get clearer image even when an object is extremely zoomed with the help of its digital zoom. Carl Zeiss lenses have an advanced optical multi-layer coating that offers less glare and flare with increased contrast. This results in vivid image brilliance, true-to-life color saturation, and perfect renditions of subtle tones.
The Super SteadyShot Picture Stabilization System uses motion sensors to detect and compensate for camera "shake" without compromising picture quality like some other digital stabilization systems. The 2.5" Touch Panel SwivelScreen LCD Display provides excellent viewing clarity with improved resolution. The high resolution 123K pixel LCD screen rotates up to 270 degrees for multiple viewing angles providing sharp, detailed images for monitoring or playback.
The i.LINK DV interface provides a digital high-speed, bi-directional interface which enables audio/video communication between two compatible devices. This connection allows for pure digital transfer between devices equipped with an IEEE1394 interface, such as camcorders, digital VTRs, capture cards and PCs. With NightShot Plus Infrared System you can capture natural looking video, even when shooting in low light. Record subjects up to 10 feet away using the built-in infrared system, but without the overall monochrome color common with earlier low-light recording systems.
