Sony's Latest DVD Handycam Camcorder Brings Home Video to the Big Screen

Sony's DCR-DVD301 camcorder, with its vast 3.5-inch SwivelScreen™ hybrid LCD display, will record directly to 3-inch DVD-R/-RW discs, which play in most current home and PC DVD players, as well as later releases of PlayStation®2 videogame consoles. The screen's hybrid technology minimizes LCD washout even in bright sunlight and can rotate up to 270-degrees for multiple viewing angles. Beyond its 3.5-inch screen, the camcorder will share most of the same features as the DCR-DVD201 DVD Handycam® camcorder, such as a one-megapixel Advanced HAD™ CCD imager and the ability to take one-megapixel digital still images. The DCR-DVD301 model will be available in October for about $1,100.
