When Sony first unveiled the H3 to the market, it staged none of the over the top glitz or glamour many expected. Held at a tiny theater inside a Sony office in Tokyo, the event barely even resembled a minor product launch.
Although many don't think of Sony as a camera maker, the company is number 1 in video cameras, holding on to well over 40 percent of the market. Sony is a leader in many other industries as well, with cameras helping to add the icing to the cake. And if you're looking for a gift for the video geek in your family, this is the one.
The HDW is the top of the line camcorder from Sony. The HDW 900 is capable of recording and playing back 1080 progressive at 23.98 or 24, 25, 29.97, or 30 frames per second. It can also play back 50 or 60 fields per second at 1080 interlaced.
The camera also offers a memory stick setup system that memorizes various parameters and enables instant recall. Once you set the camera up for the first time, it will remember the settings then go right back to the previous parameters at the touch of a button.
A simple switch operation will enable automatic adjustment and black set, black balance, and even white balance. You can quickly and easily shift colors with the video camera, making it easier to use than most other high definition video cameras on the market.
The HDW 900 from Sony will come standard with HD zoom lens, a tripod, AC power supply, and 3 Anton Bauer Hytron 100 batteries. With everything it offers you and everything it comes with right from the box, the HDW 900 is truly nothing short of amazing.
If you've been waiting for the perfect high definition video camera - rest assured that the HDW 900 is it. |
