HANDYCAM CMOS Sensor

CMOS (complimentary metal oxide semiconductor) sensors are used in place of
the CCD (charge coupled device) in some models, and have unique properties
that enable high picture quality, precise colour reproduction and finer tonal
gradation. Fast transfer, increased sensitivity to light, lower power consumption
as well as a wide dynamic range and smear-free images are key advantages of
CMOS technology.	Wide dynamic range

Most Handycams include a Wide Select feature that let you switch between 16:9 (wide) and 4:3 recordings with the touch of a button, and include widescreen LCD screens that allow accurate full-screen review of 16:9 footage.

Handycams with a 1 Megapixel Sensor or greater record footage in widescreen, giving you a wider angle of view to fit more into your shot.
