Using an SDXC/SDHC/SD Memory Card for recording media, the compact SDRS50 is ideal for daily use. Its superb resistance to external impact combines to give this versatile camcorder easy portability for anytime, anywhere video fun.This compact camcorder features a powerful 70x optical zoom lens with an Enhanced Optical 78x Zoom function that uses the effective area of the CCD to further extend their zooming power at the wideangle setting. This makes it possible to capture beautiful images of sweeping landscapes and pull in distant subjects for truly dynamic closeups.Because handshake becomes increasingly noticeable with more powerful zooming, an optical image stabilizing function is essential for suppressing handshake and providing clear zoom shots without degradation. This is where Advanced O.I.S. comes in. It detects and corrects handshake at a rate of 4,000 times per second, to provide stable images while zooming. Plus, the addition of a new Active mode produces clear, blurresistant images even when shooting while walking.FeaturesRecords onto memory card33mm Wide angle lensMassive 78x optical zoomImage stabilisation virtually eliminates handshakeLarge 2.7 lcd display
