Sony hvr-a1E

From Articlemuse

With an incredibly small body that maintains the ability to shoot in 1080i standard, Sony's HVR-A1E is a great option for professionals on the go. When you factor in the advanced technology packed into this camera, including CMOS, you're unlikely to find a better ultra compact video camera on the market.

The HVR-A1R builds on the affordability of High Definition video, providing users with a path from standard definition, while still retaining the features that DVCAM made popular, such as easy use and a multitude of connections.

This camera is ideal when space is very limited. The HVR-A1E also gives novices and semi-pros alike the same opportunities that were formerly limited only to professionals working on a "professional" budget. This is truly HD for the masses.

Affordable The HDV format that the HVR-A1E uses allows the user to capture HD on a regular DV cassette. This provides 1080 resolution without breaking the piggy bank.

You'll also be able to decide between several different recording formats, including HDV, DVCAM, and DV. This gives you the flexibility to choose between standard or high definition. This camera also offers the ability to take still picture, adding to its already impressive list of features.

Pro Use As a company geared towards professionals, Sony understands that your needs differ from that of a regular consumer. Therefore, the HVR-A1E has features that cater this specific clientèle.
