If you are still using a camcorder and video tape to capture and record your videos, you have some major catching up to do with modern technology. Catch up quick and evolve from being a camera caveman to a techie cameraman with the new Sony HDR-PJ50 Handycam Hard Disk Drive Camcorder with Projector. No, the “Projector” was not a typo. The new Sony HDR-PJ50 Handycam comes with an integrated high-contrast with 60-inch projections on any imaginable flat surface. The camera also comes with Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound and Clear Phase stereo speakers enhanced with S-Master digital amplifier technology to produce realistic, clear, and crisp sounds. The HDR-PJ50 camcorder basically allows user to create a mobile theater complete with images and sounds for fast sharing and playback even when on the move.
But before you share your videos, you have to capture them first. That’s where the HDR-PJ50 Handycam’s unmatched optical image system comes in. The HDR-PJ50 comes with a 29.8 mm wide-angle Sony G Lens that helps create 1920 x 1080 Full HD videos. With the aid of the video recorder’s highly sensitive Exmor R CMOS Image sensor and powerful BIONZ image processor, users will surely capture nothing but clear stunning videos even in low light conditions. If the subject is too far for up close and personal video recording, this latest Sony videocam can close in the distance with its 12x optical zoom and additional 17x extended zoom. The best part is no matter how much the Handy cam is zoomed in, the picture will always be in pleasing HD quality.
Another great feature is the Optical Steady Shot with Active mode; this technology virtually eliminates the effects of shaky movements, like walking and zooming in, on the quality and sharpness of videos. Finally, thanks to the camcorder’s hybrid storage technology there’s plenty of digital storage to go around – a whooping 220GB internal Hard Disk Drive and expandable Memory Stick and SD/SDHC Memory Card slots.
Every gadget has its limitation. Good thing there are separate enhancements for low-grade functions of a lot of devices. One known case is the camera lens of iPhones, smartphones and iPads. Obviously, these devices are not created for absolute photography therefore have their viewing limitations. For iPad 2 users that want to improve the camera’s distant view, there’s the new Brando Super Gear telescope.
When wipeouts and other funny moments in life worthy of ‘’The World’s ’’ – title happen, chances are you won’t get the unwilling and sorry participants to re-enact the whole event for you so that you can capture it on video (and send it to some TV shows later). It pays to be ready to get things caught on tape (or flash drives); you can never know what life will throw in next. But forget about bulky camcorders and digicams, you’ll look just like a creepy stalker, a clueless tourist, or annoying paparazzi.
Inside, the Replay XD1080 features a wide angle 135-degree, 6-element, f3.1 lens with anti-glare coating and is capable of recording and streaming 1080p videos at 30fps. It also uses a matching 5 megapixel CMOS sensor that delivers clear, vibrant, and crisp images with very minimal distortion. The audio input features wind-noise suppression technology and the output supports 3.5mm Mini-jack adapter.
