When nothing less than stunning images will do, look no further than HD Handycam®.

High-capacity hard disk drive (HDD) models are joined by light, colourful new models that record on Memory Stick™ or internal memory with no tapes or discs needed.

Specially developed by Sony, there’s a new G Lens on range-topping models that’s a perfect match for the advanced imaging power inside Handycam®.

Camera shake can spoil your best shots, especially when you’re walking along.Optical SteadyShot with new Active Mode cuts the effect of camera shake by up to ten times compared with previous Handycam® models. The result? Beautifully stable, blur-free video and stills when you’re on the move.

If you’re looking for a real sense of place, GPS inside makes it easy to ‘geotag’ your video clips and still photos. Back home, re-trace your route and enjoy clips in exciting map views on your PC with easy-to-use Picture Motion Browser software.

Don’t fancy editing all that footage? Now Handycam® does the hard work for you. Highlight Playback automatically picks stand-out shots, splicing them together with a choice of musical soundtrack to show off your best bits in style.

The feature-packed XR520VE stores up to 101 hours of Full HD video on its massive 240GB hard disk.

That’s two hours shooting time every weekend for a whole year without hitting ‘delete’. That’s time for a lot of parties and trips away – or just having fun with friends and family.
