Product Description
The Sony DCR-IP7 Digital Handycam is one of a new generation of digital camcorders that employ a revolutionary recording format called "MICROMV". The DCR-IP7 is also Sony's first camcorder to implement Bluetooth technology to enhance its network functionality via mobile phones. In a digital age, where many people integrate their camcorder and PC to create their personal image capture, edit and archive networks, MICROMV sets new standards in compact size, user friendliness and advanced PC friendly features.
Bluetooth is an industry standard for simple, cordless connection and data transfer. Within a range of 10m, Bluetooth components can automatically detect and communicate with each other. As well as browsing the Web, users can access picture/text messaging facilities through their camcorder systems. In addition to its i.LINK capabilities, the DCR-IP7 possesses a USB connection for the rapid transfer of audiovisual material on its Memory Stick to your PC. Another option providing total PC connectivity is Memory Stick: the DCR-IP7 incorporates a new MPEGMOVIE AD facility. This advanced function lets you store up to 280 seconds of video material on an 8MB Memory Stick (82 minutes on a 128 MB Memory Stick) before transferring it directly to your PC for edit
