Engineered for excellence. It’s an image thing
Watch any movie made on a Sony megapixel Handycam, and you can’t help noticing the outstanding image quality. That’s down to our new ultra- fast processors that give your Handycam time to repeatedly refine the quality of your images before
they’re recorded. From capture and conversion to signal noise reduction, the technology is flawless and the results are sublime. Make your movies with a Sony Handycam and you’ll see what we mean.
