quality, meaning virtually no blurred images during shaky camera situation.
Professional Quality Carl
Zeiss

Diode) CCD design allows more light to reach the imager, which reduces
video noise to improve signal to noise ratio.
2.5" LCD Monitor
Provides excellent viewing
clarity, making images ultimately sharp and detailed during playback or
when monitoring recording. Swivel function (270 degrees rotation) allows
you to see your subjects and your shot at the same time, from virtually
any angle. Mirror function allows subjects to see themselves in LCD while
you watch them in viewfinder.
Super NightShot O Lux
/ Color Slow Shutter Recording System
This system captures video
in total darkness up to 10 feet away by using an advanced infrared system.
Super NightShot recording employs an automatic slow-shutter control to
deliver brighter, sharper images with more detail when shooting in the
dark. Or use the color mode for recording full-color video in dim light.
Color mode helps capture true-to-life color video of sleeping babies, birthday
candles and early evening events.
