The Sony HDR-PJ50V Camcorder is more than just a high def camcorder: it's a projector! That's right, instead of sharing your videos and photos on a small LCD screen, the PJ50V lets you project your memories up to 60" onto any wall or flat surface. Nobody will have to squint to see your masterpiece. What's more, the PJ50V also features a built-in GPS receiver. Tag your videos for archiving, geo-tagging, and easy retrieval.
When it comes to the camera's aforementioned high def recording you'll get the best video possible with 1920 x 1080 60p or 24p recording. And using the HDMI connection will allow you to share your movies, in all their glorious detail, on the big screen with just one cable. Of course helping the camera to make those stunning images would be the Wide Angle G lens, a 1/4" CMOS sensor, optical image stabilization, 17x Extended zoom, and other core features, like the 3.0" LCD.
No matter what you record, or how, the PJ50V stores it all to the 220GB hard disk drive. The HDD allows for up to 91 hours of storage. When you insert an SD/SDHC/SDXC or Sony Memory Stick media into the camera you'll get even more storage capacity.
The PJ50V also features a number of shooting controls, like Intelligent Auto, Tracking Focus, and more. These controls take the guesswork out of recording, allowing you to be present in the moment, not worried about the camera's settings. Other handy features of the camera include microphone and headphone jacks for enhanced audio recording. Other audio considerations that Sony gave this cam include, 5.1 channel Surround Sound, an Active Interface Shoe, Clear Phase built-in stereo speakers, and wind noise reduction.
