pocket or bag: you can be sure it’s always with you, wherever you go.

results when you’re shooting in low light at parties, indoors or with night-time scenes.

Don't keep all those great memories stuck inside your camcorder. PMB Portable

software inside Handycam® lets you upload videos to popular web sharing sites

like YouTube™ from almost any connected PC.

It's easy with the super-speed DVDirect Express disc burner Alternatively,

Handycam® lets you transfer footage straight to an external hard disk

drive... with no PC needed.
