A part of Sony's newest line of DVD Handycam camcorders, the Sony DCR-DVD308 allows you to easily capture video directly to DVD. dvd308.jpg Record your videos in crystal clarity and 5.1ch surround sound to a number of DVD solutions, including DVD-R/-RW/+RW/+R DL (Dual Layer).

The Sony DCR-DVD308 also includes Active Interface Shoe, which provides for additional powered accessory options. Video can be transfered to your PC via the high-speed USB 2.0 connection.

Video can be recorded directly to a 3" DVD in either single or dual layer formats. The discs made by the camcorder, after being finalized, can be played in compatible DVD players, computers, and even the Playstation 2 and Playstation 3 video game consoles.

Widescreen capabilities allow you to record and playback video in widescreen mode, at the 16:9 aspect ratio. Or, if you prefer, you can record and playback in 4:3 aspect ratio. Changing between the different ratios is as easy as a touch of a button. Premium sound recording is available through the camcorders built in 5.1ch surround sound microphone.

The camcorder's Super Steady Shot Image Stabilization system reduces "shakes" without compromising video quality. The professional quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar Lens offers less glare and flare with increased contrast, resulting in vivid image brilliance, true-to-life color saturation, and perfect rendition of subtle tones.

For the film buffs, or those who just want a quality camcorder, the Sony DCR-DVD308 Handycam camcorder is a perfect solution with its ease of use and variety of storage options.
