The shooter package includes the HSC1: Three 4GB SD cards, battery, soft camcorder case, a card reader and clear lens filter.
Weighing only 1.1 lbs., this compact, handheld camcorder records
beautiful, highly-accurate 1080i images in 16:9 in the new AVCHD format
onto an SDHC memory card. Entry-level professionals will find the
camcorder ideal for capturing natural, professional-level high
definition recordings. The AG-HSC1U features 3-CCD's, a
highly-sensitive 12X Leica Dicomar lens system with Optical Image
Stabilizer to ensure ultra-steady, crisp shooting of both moving
pictures and still images with high resolution. The camcorder has a 3"
widescreen (16:9) LCD monitor and 5.1-channel surround sound
five-microphone system. It can also capture 2.1 megapixel 16:9 still
pictures even during video recording.
The AG-HSC1U comes standard with a portable 40GB media storage unit for
off-loading content from the 4GB SDHC memory card. The 40GB hard disk
drive can hold the contents of ten 4GB SDHC memory cards and has a
built-in rechargeable battery. The camera also comes standard with a
4GB SDHC memory card and a one-year parts and labor warranty.
When recordings made with the AG-HSC1U are played back in a 5.1-channel
studio system, viewers are surrounded by a clear, detailed sound that
makes them feel as if they are right in the middle of the action. A
Zoom Mic function links the microphone's action to the camera's action.
While zooming in on a distant subject, the microphones also zoom in and
record the sounds related to that subject.
The 12X Leica Dicomar lens featured in the AG-HSC1U has 13 lens
elements in 10 groups, with 21 multi-coated surfaces, and uses
low-dispersion optical glass to reduce chromatic aberration. This
advanced lens also minimizes harmful reflections, so images are crisp,
clear and free of flare and ghosting. (43 mm Ø)
The AG-HSC1U also comes with the highly-portable 40 GB SD Store to off
load your SD cards. It is small enough to fit in a shirt pocket, yet it
can hold ten 4 GB cards worth of data. Just insert the SD card and
press the COPY button and it will transfer the material recorded on the
SD card to the built-in HDD. (Transfer speed is 6MByte / second so a 4
GB card takes 11 min.) The SD Store comes with an external AC adapter
which powers the unit and also allows users to recharge the SD Store's
built-in battery, for use in the field.
