Ever wish you could zoom just a little closer to to the subject you are shooting. Well Sony is delivering with a new ultra-zoom Handycam 67x zoom lens. Of the 67x zoom, 57x is all optical zoom so clarity is not being lost for most of the zoom range. With this new line of ultra-zoom cameras Sony is offering 2 models, the DCR-SR21E and DCR-SX21E.
The new-ultra zoom line is standard definition only, but that can be an advantage if you are limited on video storage or have editing software that can’t hand HD video. Both cameras are very similar with plenty of features with the big difference being storage. The SR21E has a large onboard 80GB HDD and the XR21E carries a memory card slot and uses a Sony Memory Stick or SD card for storage. Sony’s new external hard drive, the HD-PG5 serires offers easy PC-free backup. Look for the ultra-zoom Handycam in September. Find out more in the press release after the jump. [click to continue…]
