The Sony Handycam HDR-XR260VE is a high definition camcorder that boasts a highly sensitive Exmor R CMOS sensor for detail-packed video and still images, especially in low light. The built-in hard drive provides plenty of storage space. You can store up to 65 hours of recordings at a time.

Video footage is recorded in HD (1080p) at a very high bit rate with 50p progressive shooting mode for optimal picture quality. The 30x optical zoom doesn't miss a thing; it's perfect for group shots, landscapes and more. The optical image stabiliser provides stable shots, even while you're walking, by keeping blur to a minimum. And the HDR-XR260VE's 29.8 mm wide-angle lens gives you a broader viewing angle.

And that's not all! This HDR-XR260VE camcorder is also equipped with an integrated GPS receiver for automatically tagging clips and photos with coordinates. In fact, you can keep a record of where each clip was shot on the map built into the 3-inch LCD display.

In terms of user-friendliness, this video camera has a built-in USB cable that can be stowed away neatly into the strap for easy carrying. The USB cable makes transferring files to a computer a breeze.

Internal menus available in the following languages: English, Simple and Traditional Chinese, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, Greek, Thai, Turkish, Polish, Czech and Hungarian.
