The DCRHC52's 1/6" advanced HAD (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCD with 340K (effective) pixels provides stunning detail and clarity with exceptional video (up to 500 lines of horizontal resolution) and still image performance. The MiniDV recording format offers up to 500 lines of horizontal resolution, and a significantly higher signal to noise ratio, to provide spectacular video performance.
A 40x optical zoom on the DCRHC52 helps to bring the action close up from far away. In addition, a 2000x digital zoom with interpolation means that extreme digital zooming is clearer, with less distortion than previous types of digital zoom. The DCRHC52 sports a professional quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens. These lenses are designed specifically for compact camcorders, and utilize precision ground optics to maintain the sharpness and contrast found with larger lenses. The Super SteadyShot picture stabilization system uses motion sensors to detect and compensate for camera shake without compromising picture quality like some other digital stabilization systems.
Unlike NiCad (Nickel Cadmium) batteries, Sony's rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries are not subjected to a life shortening memory effect, so you're free to charge the battery at any time. Additionally, Sony's exclusive AccuPower meter displays the battery time remaining in minutes, in either the viewfinder or on the LCD screen. When using the Sony InfoLithium battery, the Stamina Battery Power management system helps the camcorder prolong battery life for extra long continuous recording times from a single charge.
