Using the USB streaming feature the camcorder can also function as a WebCam. In addition to this, video footage can be downloaded directly to a PC via a USB port. This material can then be edited on your PC using the supplied software. Once edited, your masterpiece can be shared with the whole world via the Internet.

For those wanting to retain the high quality that the digital camcorder offers, the DCR-TRV25 offers iLink (DV in and out)--giving the user the ability to edit raw footage on their computer via a FireWire capture card and then output edited footage back onto the DCR-TRV25. The camera also features analogue video in and 14-bit DXP signal processing for greatly improved rendition of highlight and shadow detail.

The DCR-TRV25 includes the ability to record straight to MemoryStick. As with the DCR-TRV340, you can create MPEG movies by using MPEG MOVIE EX; your recording time is now only limited by the size of MemoryStick.

It also boasts a crystal clear 3.5" LCD monitor and a precision 180 K pixel colour viewfinder. Other innovative features include Bluetooth connectivity, Hologram AF and an intelligent pop-up flash with red-eye reduction. Add to these already impressive features manual focus, 120x digital zoom, playback zoom and Super NightShot mode for filming in very low light and you've got yourself a very impressive camcorder.
